The Good Shop — Attraction in Shepherdstown

I feel bad writing a poor review since I used to love this shop and visit quite frequently. Today I walked in and there was a lady who I have not seen before working, I could tell she was suspicious of me from the moment I entered. She came over and asked if I wanted to try anything on and I said I was just looking. I decided not to buy anything today, told her to have a nice day, left and crossed the street to another shop. I was in that shop for around ten minutes when the same lady quickly walked in and came up to me angrily. She demanded to see in my bag so I handed it to her and let her see what was in it. I told her I hadn’t stolen anything and all she said was “okay” and left. She didn’t even apologize once she realized she was wrong.

I have gone to this store annually for a few years. They have unique flax pieces. I have looked forward to shopping and have spent a lot of money there.

She theatrically scoffed at me, waved me off, and said that I should just sue her! Wow! Who talks to a customer like that? I informed the owner about what I said and about how her employee talked to me. The elderly owner justified it by saying that it was probably just a long day, but that that she would put up a sign. The employee repeatedly lied and denied her behavior to her boss. Buyer beware! Don't buy anything unless you are certain. Owner beware! Choose your employees...

Cute shop run by a woman who rescues horses. My friend had a wonderful conversation with the owner about barn animal rescue while she was there. The clothes are very nature-based and seem focused toward a hippie-esque demographic. A lot of flowy, patterned attire—I found pants that I really liked and are super comfortable. Prices are $50-$100 for a piece of clothing and they feel like good quality. There were several sales going on as well, and there is a small houseware selection in the front of the store. Always feels good to support a local business and had a...
