Shop Small Business Saturday...Yes!

Who wouldn't want one of these?!

We are a small business. We are neighbors with many small businesses on a quaint Main Street in Walla Walla, WA and shop each others stores. We know the owners of these small businesses - our kids go to school together, our families see each other at church, at restaurants, and at community activities. We hire friends and families of these small business owners to help our small business. It is amazing how inter-connected the "small business world" really is.

With the holiday season upon us, we are all excited and a little anxious. See, a bad season isn't just a poor ending to the year...it could mean doors closing. All those friend and family connections mentioned above? Yep, a door closing on a small business in Walla Walla ripples through all of these relationships. I could write about how we shouldn't be materialistic, how the holidays aren't about gifts, etc. etc. (I do believe that we need to be less materialistic, and less about the gifts), but I enjoy getting people that I care about nice things, fun things, things that make them laugh and smile and remind them how much they mean to me. That isn't a bad thing! So, on Saturday, Nov. 26, people in Walla Walla have a chance to make a difference doing something they are going to do anyways - shopping for gifts for friends and family, but mixing in a visit to all of the unique and creative shops that line our Main St. corridor. A good book from Book and Game, a new pair of kicks from Lost Board Room, or a new Sweets cap or sweatshirt - these are things that keep locally-owned stores in business and make the people that you love smile when you give it to them. We'll be open - and we'll look forward to seeing you!

OUR STAFF...

We are constantly refreshing our website and the content that allows people to connect to the team. One idea that our new marketing director Katie Baxter thought of was using our staff bios to tell our fans more about the wonderful people that make us "go". It was very cool learning about people that I work next to every single day...we have some some amazing people! They aren't all updated - but we are almost done, so check them out here: STAFF BIOS.
