Saxony, a longtime cornerstone of downtown Charles City, is celebrating 50 years in business with a brand-new look following recent fire damage. Owner Lisa Richter shares the story of how her mother Mary Lou founded the store in the 1970s, how the business has grown through the decades, and how the Saxony team rallied to reopen quickly after the August fire. From resilience to reinvention, Saxony continues to bring trusted fashion and new styles to the community.

For updates on events, new arrivals, and Saxony’s fall open house, visit their website, Facebook or stop by the downtown Charles City location.

Chris Berg

Chris was born in Webster City and raised in Charles City, which basically means he’s been corn‑fed and radio‑bred since day one. As a kid, he was always caught singing along to the radio — and while he’ll tell you he’s great at karaoke, let’s just say the audience’s ears often file a noise complaint. When he’s not busy butchering ‘80s power ballads, Chris enjoys starting overly ambitious home projects that rarely make it past the “great idea” stage. He lives in Charles City with his endlessly patient wife Vicki and their kids, Brynlee and Jaxon, who have already perfected the art of the eye‑roll every time Dad cracks another “dad joke.”
