“ We have two shop cats and people come to see them, too,” she said.“ We have tons of nooks and crannies and two separate lofts. We took over the whole building.”
Boyd states on the website that the business,“ just kind of evolved over the years with different stores in town, big box stores that would close, and then I would see an opportunity and then just increase, say, the clothing part of my store. They just kind of tell me what they’ re looking for and what they want, and we keep adding.”
