What do you love about living and working in our town? Great “neighborhood” feel with friendly caring people.

What do you wish everyone who came into your shop knew about you? That we truly care about every customer that walks through our door and want them to have a great experience each and every time. 

Tell us a quick story about a time you provided awesome customer service: We display student artwork in the store from the Art Class at Burns Middle School. One customer was so impressed with a particular piece that he asked if he could buy it. We passed the information on to the art teacher. She approached the student who said he didn’t want any money for it, but that he would be willing to give it away. Our customer gladly accepted the piece, and made a $50 donation to the Burns Middle School Art Department! We made a lot of people very happy that day!
