Grandma & Grandpa's Puppets

The couple that used to own this store retired. The new owner (me) will be changing the name to "Treehouse Puppets & Treasures" and is already making changes to the business. The puppets will certainly stay, as will most of the merchandise. I am in the process of making the place more "family friendly" and will include a play area for kids. Also plan on free puppet shows at least weekly. I will be adding more creative and fun games and toys to the lineup. For those of you who had bad experiences I hope you will stop by and see the changes. On weekends my children are usually with me at the store helping out. We are also building a website.... Come check us out!

My husband and I went to John's Pass this past weekend. We were walking along, window shopping, when we noticed that there were stores on the upper level too. We felt bad for the store owners that no one seemed to be going upstairs to visit these stores, so we decided to go for it. We went into this puppet store and were looking around. It's basically a store of hand puppets. So I tried one out and went up to my husband and pretended it was talking to him. The old woman staff member was extremely rude and roughly yelled "DON'T TOUCH HIS FACE!". At this point I would like to point out that I was not touching his face. I totally 100% understand that she does not want the puppets to touch people's faces. But she most definitely could've pointed this out in a much better way. My husband promptly said, "Let's go". I said to the mean lady "See ya", she said something like "Next time" to which I replied "We won't be coming back" and she said "good"! I couldn't believe how rude this staff memeber was to us. We are a normal couple in our 30's, we were dressed nicely, and acting appropriately. In this economy you would think that they would be more welcoming to customers.

While I was on vacation with my 8 grandchildren ranging in ages from 20 to 9 years old. We found a shop that everyone had a good time in everyone had something to do and look at. In most of the store I always had at least one of the chlildren asking if we where ready to go but at Grandma and Grandpa Puppets they all loved the store not one of them where asking me if it was time to go. They had something for every age, when it was time to go is when they started to complain so that should tell you something. Both Grandma and Grandpa seem to enjoy each and every person that walked in the door. They where so helpful and dimistrated anything my children wanted to see.
