The Groove Shop — Local services in Benton

So - wow.

I was already feeling glad to have checked out The Groove Shop for the first time when I walked out the door. Our vehicle had snapped a belt outside town on our drive through, and we found this place while passing an hour or so for repairs.

The owner was friendly and wonderfully knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects. We ended up talking about farmsteading, soapmaking, glassblowing, beekeeping and all sorts of interesting things.

But what blew my mind was the healing I experienced when using one of her handmade salves, pictured below. After spending lots of time outside in a new area, I had racked up a number of tick bites that were not healing well. I've never dealt with ticks much before, and tried all the cures I saw recommended online - antibiotic ointment, aloe, steroid cream, calamine, the works - and the bites were not going away. Thankfully, there has been no sign of wider infection with the likes of Lyme disease or the like. But some bites were even starting to scar they'd lasted so long, though I've been careful not to irritate them.

With one night's use of this ointment, I experienced a dramatic reduction in redness and inflammation everywhere it was applied. The issue had been a real stress to me, and with this clean and pure medicine I have found relief. So I just had to gush about it a bit in case anybody else might find the info helpful, and consider giving the Groove Shop...

Went to the place for years spent quite a bit of money there. Went and bought something from them and less than a week later i set the thing down and it just breaks. Was not being rough with it. Went in to see if maybe they would work with me on something given the fact I have gone there for years and had this for less than a week. I did not expect anything for free may a discount or at least work with me. A simple no even, would have worked to but, instead I get accused of applying heat the the part and being overall rough with the piece. Never thought I would get treated that way and will not be...

EDIT The owners have graciously extended their hours- how's that for customer service?? Huge love to The Groove Shop! I'll see you guys soon. I used to love this place when it was in DeSoto but since they moved to Benton their hours are weird. I've never seen a head shop that wasn't open on the weekends. Hard to get up there during business...
