 PARK CITY, Utah (Osmonds Website) - Jimmy Osmond is hoping to cash in on the family name with his new venture: the Osmond General Store. The shop offers a combination of show business memorabilia, trinkets and home products. Shoppers can buy a $2,195 toy pistol once owned by Elvis, a $3,995 pair of leather dress gloves worn by Marilyn Monroe, a $2,995 guitar autographed by Garth Brooks, or a $3,295 string tie with a silver horse owned by John Wayne. "We worked with a lot of these people,'' said Osmond, 38, the youngest member of the singing Osmond family. "I got the memorabilia from them, from their agents, and from other collectors. I guarantee it all personally. If its authenticity is questioned, I'll buy it back.'' A corner of the store is dedicated to Osmond recordings, performance videos, hats signed by family members, and a line of dolls marketed by his sister Marie.
