  • We use our expertise to council you to peak performance.

We Sell Good Stuff

  • We aim for 100% satisfaction because we're trying to build a life-long relationship.
  • We treat you like our neighbor... and not just because you probably are!

We Want Our Community To Flourish

  • We raise money for local non-profits, donating to 22 local charities in 2011 alone.
  • We contribute to a vibrant downtown economy and atmosphere.

We Want Our Planet to Flourish

  • We believe one long-lasting item is preferrable to many cheap, short-lived ones that soon fill landfills.

  • We recycle, conserve energy and source products as locally as possible.

We Want YOU To Flourish

  • It's why we got into this business... and why we've stayed in this business!
