LONGVIEW, Texas — The Merle Norman Cosmetics Studio in Longview Mall is under new ownership, with Jennifer Williamson recently purchasing the store from longtime owner Judy Kennemer.

The store, which also sells boutique clothing and jewelry, is located in the food court area of the mall. Williamson, who also is the registrar at the UT Tyler University Academy in Longview, was a customer of Kennemer's for about 10 years.

Williamson likes that just about all of Merle Norman's products are manufactured in the United States.
