More Space At Last!
WE ARE IN!

I don't think a day goes by but what one of you comes in a says "Boy! You guys need more space!"  We've known that for years, but the thought of leaving our center, although we have considered it, was not a happy one. Fortunately, the travel agency next door needed more space, and they couldn't get it in the center either, so they moved across the street, and we are taking over their space!  We'll have about 60% more space than we currently have. We won't be tripping over piles of shoes; we'll be able to stock and display more clothing and accessories. It'll still be the same fantastic service you're accustomed to, but without the claustrophobic feel you've put up with.

Well, thanks to the dedicated tireless efforts of our in-house lead construction team, Charlie, Jeff, George and David, and then the moving team which added Craig, John and Ava to the list as well as several customers who gave of their free time to help the process, we are IN and OPEN in our great new space - so PLEASE poke your head in and say hi.

We've documented our progress from empty shell to busy new store below
New Front Door!
To the right you have the old familiar front door to our crowded old shop, while to the left you have the new double doors to our larger, spacious new shop!

Our level-headed construction crew - George Serrano, Jeff Vannini, David Kcenich and Charlie Hoover (taking the photo). Without the crew's dedicated and tireless efforts, we'd still be in our little hole in the wall next door. Thanks!
