TOWN 'N COUNTRY - While many independently-owned shops are struggling to stay afloat in these tough economic times, business is booming for one newly opened spot.

The Magickal Happenings shop offers a range of services from the witchcraft world. Tina McCabe opened the shop at 5915 Memorial Highway after a year of steady business at the Oldsmar Market.

"I've always had these gifts but didn't really pursue them until recently," McCabe said. "My family was very supportive and I told myself I would give it a try for one year to see how it goes."
McCabe gave readings, brewed potions and made other magical products, and demand grew. Now, she has a permanent shop where she can provide her services, teach classes and display her full line of products.

"My business has grown as people search for answers in these tough economic times," she said. "They want guidance and solutions."

The store's inventory ranges from cosmic to kitschy, from perfumes that offer protection to DVDs featuring pop-culture witches such as Samantha from the television show "Bewitched."
