Earthbound Trading Co. — Local services in Eureka Springs

We stopped by coming from Kansas to visit this last Saturday. It was a little after 4pm and it was me , my husband, and our three kids. They was a line of about 3 people outside and the lady standing in front of the shop said they were at capacity. So I went across the street and grabbed a funnel cake. At about 4:45 I saw the line disappeared so I came back and she said they were still at capacity and closing in 15 minutes, which would be at 5pm. Do they close at 5 instead of 6? Pretty disappointed. It’s nice the store is so popular that so many people want to shop but maybe consider staying open longer...

UPDATE: We returned to the store on a weekday and it wasn’t as busy. They did close at 6pm on this day and we were able to get in. Having been able to shop in the store, it was nice, unique products to choose from. I was hoping for a few more books and cards but they still had a couple of products I hadn’t added to my collections yet. I spent quite a bit money and got some great items. I think they were reasonably priced considering the uniqueness of the items...

There is no way to convey here what my experience at E T C means to me. I was so chaotic and flustered when I thought I lost my card. BETH!!! She actually volunteered to go down to Mud St Cafe where I last remembered using my card. I did find it in my purse, and Beth came back up apologizing that she couldn't find my card for me. I showed it to her and apologized... She was so sweet and professional, didn't act like I was the pain in the butt that I know I was. We returned on Sunday to pick up a few things and Beth was there again. I am SO glad you have her! Whomever it was who hired this superstar needs to be a corporate trainer for you guys! I'd also like to shout out KYLE (who was there both days and so very kind to me!) and JERAMIE as well! Two more feathers in your manager's cap! You will be my first step from now on! Oh! I bought the wrapskirt (they stripped a mannequin for me!), and it is gorgeous! Super great fabric, excellent tailoring, and amazing colors! Got earrings and a head scarf too! Again, very...

Eureka Springs is one of my favorite places. Unfortunately, I suffered a traumatic experience yesterday down the street from Earthbound. I received permission from a dog owner to pet their dog and when I reached down to do so, the dog lunged and bit my nose. I was dripping blood just outside Earthbound while my friend went to find tissue for me. That’s when Earthbound employee (perhaps manager), WINK, came out and asked me to come into the store and sit. She promptly brought me tissue and then got a first aid kit to help me clean up. She was also so kind as to call for EMTs and the police as the dog owner was not cooperating and had come in to blame me for it happening even though I’d been given permission to pet their dog. I’m so grateful Wink was there to help treat my wound as well as de-escalate the situation. I hadn’t planned to visit that store this trip but I will likely visit them every time I’m in Eureka now. Thanks again to Wink for all the professionalism and assistance. It means...
