Signatures Boutique – Part 2
- Showcasing unique apparel and gifts available only at The Hotel Hershey.
With classical music–perhaps Mozart–playing softly from speakers hidden within the ceiling, I strolled confidently into Signatures and met Julie standing behind the counter.
- Julie from Signatures.
”Is this Mozart?” I asked , gesturing broadly to include the hidden speakers.
”I don’t know,” she said. “But we do play a lot of Vivaldi.”
”Of course,” I nodded. “And did you know Vivaldi’s father was a baker before becoming a professional violinist?”
”Everyone knows that,” Julie scoffed. “But what’s profoundly more interesting is that Vivaldi was the first composer that consistently used the ritornello form–”
“Agreed!” I shouted, “and I apologize for interrupting you. But that became the standard for the fast movements of concertos.”
“You’re correct, Sir,” Julie admitted, clapping her hands. “It would appear I’ve met my match in terms of knowing obscure facts about famous Italian composers from the early 1700s. Now why don’t I show you around the store?”
I agreed and we started our tour. First stop: fall decor for a very special sale. We approached a beautiful wooden table covered in autumnal-colored sweatshirts and logoed Hershey apparel. Throughout the store, the displays were positioned perfectly.
- Beautiful fall items now 50% off until sold out.
Passing the fall items, Julie spoke in great detail about Christopher Radko handblown glass ornaments, dress shirts and ties by designer Peter Millar, signature HSY apparel, festive red and green Hershey sweatshirts, Chocolate Spa lotions, soaps, books, candy, and much more.

As I thanked Julie and walked outside, I faintly overheard another customer asking about a certain paperweight she’d purchased over 50 years ago at The Hotel Hershey. That’s real history, I thought, as Julie led the woman towards the appropriate table.
