Pepper Spray Featured at New Bethlehem Store

The Pepper Spray Store has opened in Bethlehem's Main Street Commons.

The store specializes in Mace brand products and items for personal and home security.

The store is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Store owners are available to give safety talks to local groups and pepper spray fundraiser sales are available for non-profit organizations.

Co-owner Nelson Lauver says he got the idea for the specialty store when he had trouble finding pepper spray for his wife.

Lauver is a broadcaster who hosts the "American Storyteller Radio Journal."
