WLM | shop A Tale of Three Stores CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY & A LITTLE HISTORY T in Laramie he Curiosity Shoppe has been an aptly-named, diverse retail destination that never ceases to live up to its colorful moniker. Under owners Alec & Jodi Shea, the store is a creative, eclectic and entirely fun place to spend far longer than you ever intend. You just can’t help yourself! A Laramie staple for decades, The Curiosity Shoppe has been the place to find that perfect gift or item for your home. When my husband and I shared our first home together in 1998, we started with two ornaments on our first (Charlie Brown) Christmas tree. Every year we’d select one together, and often they would come from The Curiosity Shoppe, which has been (and remains) a Hallmark Gold Crown location for years. We saw owners change over the years, from the late Alice Stickley, to Sandy Novick for many years, to Alec and Jodi Shea, who purchased the store about three and a half years ago. by Curiosity Shoppe By Kati Hime Images as noted by Kati Hime BHP Imaging The Sheas have brought their think-outside-the-box creativity to the store. They keep their eyes and ears open, finding creative new merchandise and the items that local shoppers express an interest in buying. by Curiosity Shoppe 26 Wyoming Lifestyle Magazine | Winter & Holiday 2016
