It was a really fun experience. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They knew exactly what I wanted and we joked and laughed while they got my purchase ready. Great place and great people.

Best small business in Independence, KS... I worked there years ago and it amazes me how every visit, they grow and continue to improve their fragrance lines and products. In the whole store, only one (of over 100) scents was less than immaculate. Brian, please get rid of The Grind.
