The legendary, one-and-only Linda Parmley Underwood has sold Linda’s Hallmark in Village Green Center and is retiring.

As reported in Everything Farragut, Happy Retirement to Linda Underwood and Sassy! After 38 years of growing a successful business, Linda is selling her store to another Hallmark owner.

Stop by Linda’s Hallmark on Friday, March 3, between 1-4 p.m. to celebrate with Linda and Sassy!

Linda’s Hallmark will discount everything in the store by 38% during this time.

We love you, Linda. You are a remarkable woman who is smart, beautiful, caring, kind and fun. You always look at things on the bright side and we will miss you.

We say amen. For many of those 38 years, Linda operated two stores, in Bearden and in Farragut.
