also had problems with this store. was looking for a very specific item i knew they had, kept trying to get in there but they were ALWAYS closed, i think the only time anyone i know ever saw them open was Mon-Fri 10am-3pm not great retail hours. when i attempted to email them to inquire about their shitty hours i never received a single response. great business ethic that dude’s got.

I don’t know Jen, or this store, but I do think business owners could learn from this experience. Sometimes web reviews seem so scary and daunting, and people in the retail business don’t necessarily know the ups and downs of review sites like Yelp.

All in all, it’s too bad an individually owned business shut its doors, whatever the reason.

They had the WORST hours. I tried to get gifts multiple times only to find the hours changed from the last time I tried to go, and even more inconvenient. To blame one poor yelp review is not owning up to reality that they made it very difficult for working adults to support them.

I love to know what nonsense those other reviews said before they were taken down.

I guess they based her hipster-ness on the fact that she went to brunch?
