We have been shopping here for several years when we come to the area to visit family. One of my wife’s favorite things to do is to have a nice lunch at the nearby Mushroom Cafe and then walk over to this store to browse their beautiful items. We invariably spend a few hundred dollars here. Today we spent $260 for 3 nice things, but is the last time I ever spend a dollar here.
I now believe that the other posters who described this owner as a racist are correct. As my wife was waiting for me to bring our car up the older man behind the counter was expounding on the need for the country to now embrace a “Military Dictatorship “.

This was the only one where we felt like we were being watched and treated poorly, and with zero justification.
Skip this stop, there are much better options within a half mile radius where the employees/owners aren’t sabotaging their...
Read moreDo not shop at this racist establishment. A friend and I walked into the store today, May 24 2019, as the older man at the check out counter was holding a conversation with a couple. He said “And that Nancy Pelosi, I hope the next MS-13 (international crime ring originating in Los Angeles) that comes in kills one of her grandchildren. We turned right around and walked out. I was absolutely speechless! My friend, on the other hand, let him know he was disgusting. Another establishment that I will NEVER patronize. To be silent is to...
