Employees were excited to have shoppers during the event.
Each month participating merchants in Homewood stay open until 7 p.m. for the Third Thursday Wine Down. The event is presented by Homewood Chamber Merchants Committee.
Third Thursday Wine Down was created for shoppers who might work or have other reasons that they can't come to the stores during the day. Refreshments are also served, and many stores will offer great specials.
"We definitely did some more business. It was good, and it was fun," said Kathy Bley, manager of Penzey's Spices. "We got a lot of good customers that night."
Molly Green Boutique owner Brittany Hartwell said that the community can look forward to another fun night at Molly Green. The store offered hors d'oeuvres and wine for the first event and brought in live music for the second one.
Hartwell said they had a pretty good turnout in the past, but she hopes that it will grow.
"There's lots of opportunity. Homewood has so much to offer," she said. "We just have to get the word out for the people to know about it."
Past participating merchants included A Touch of Whimsy, Alabama Goods, Alabama Outdoors, Ambiance, d'Trespa Boutique, Doree, Dorothy McDaniel's Flower Market, Four Seasons Art & Antiques, Generation Dog, Harmony Landing, Homewood Friends and Family Chiropractic, Homewood Sporting Goods, Molly Green, Nadeau, NeedCo., O'Henry's Coffee, Penzey's Spices, Seasons to Celebrate, Shoefly, SoHo Retro, The Briarcliff Shop and Urban Cookhouse.
