What year did you open on Capitol Hill: 2011
Tell us about your business: A modern neighborhood herbal apothecary, featuring medicinal as well as specialty culinary items, cocktail essentials, rare chocolates and decadent offerings for your body, your home and your favorite people.
What is the best thing about having a business on Capitol Hill? Being surrounded by the most interesting and creative folks in town and from all over the world.
Why is it important for people to shop local, especially around the holidays? The only way that the unique and interesting things in your neighborhood survive is if you support them. Small independent stores will never be able to compete with the amazonian scale companies that offer you everything at a “discount”, but we will give you the human connection and the personal service that remind you that you are a part of a community. If we lose our neighborhoods to big box stores, chains and on-line commerce, we will lose our whole sense of belonging, to this place and to each other.
