Settin’ Up Shop in Chimacum, WA - Corner Store Beginnings

When we say "humble beginnings", we mean it. We opened November 22, 2010, in an old auto parts store with 1/30th of what fills our shelves today. The nation was only beginning its creep out of a severe recession, and on opening day, a snowstorm blanketed Chimacum's streets. Despite it being the week before Thanksgiving, we offered not a single turkey. What were we thinking?
