GONE

I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that our Venice store is now open! Whether in jest or not, several customers said that they would only shop where Tom was working.  All of our employees are back together again! Now for the bad news....It is with utmost apologies that we have made the decision to close our Port Charlotte location.  Unfortunately, we were not doing enough business in our store to break even. A managerial decision was made to consolidate the two stores into the larger location. The move took place the same week that I was personally moving our residence. With the exception of my office, the entire inventory was moved within 4 days. Returning to my office, unlocking the front door and seeing the empty space was surreal and I became overwhelmed with emotion. Thank you to all of our loyal customers who have helped us grow and supported us through the good times and the rough times. We hope to earn your business at our new location.
