What is rewarding about running your store?

Getting to know new customers and getting to visit with our returning customers is really rewarding. I love displaying the merchandise and giving the shop a new fresh look. Particularly, I enjoy holiday displays and giving the customers insight in how to best utilize the merchandise.

What makes Good Things unique?

Customers have said Good Things is like their ever-blooming garden. It is always changing and blooming with new merchandise every season. We always are looking for unique merchandise not found in other stores.

How have you grown over the years?
