A unique shopping experience...

Since our company was first founded, we’ve always taken pride in providing a truly unique and personalized shopping experience. At our store, you’ll interact with a polite, experienced, and professional sales staff. We know everything about our products – and while we’re always here to answer your questions, we’ll never push you or try to upsell you on a product you don’t really want.

And with unique, one-on-one personalized shopping available from Helen, her daughter Buffy, or another one of our trained staff members, you’ll have someone with you every step of the way – if that’s what you’d like!
