Gifting Shop Created By Two Local Entrepreneurs With A Love For Shopping
Shopping and supporting local is an important piece to a thriving community, and Crocker Park is continuing to fulfill that mission by welcoming their newest business to the lifestyle center. Whimsy Willow, a locally owned gift shop, opened today, Tuesday, June 8, with a purpose to help give great gifts and support fellow local businesses.
Whimsy Willow was founded this year by John Norris and Cheryl Bauer, both parents and professionals who share a passion for shopping and supporting local as well as practical design and gifting. After over a year creating and cultivating a mission and brand they can stand behind, Whimsy Willow was born. Inside the shop, visitors can find several locally sourced modern and rustic farmhouse style pieces, unique wooden signs, and personalized touches with their “gifts to go” interactive kiosk. This kiosk makes it simple to monogram and engrave dozens of signs and other items with a meaningful touch in a quick shopping trip, also perfect for party favors and corporate events.
“Crocker Park loves local, and our team always works hard to find fantastic local business with a special story,” said Stacie Schmidt, Vice President of Marketing. “Whimsy Willow’s style and aesthetic is impeccable and elevates any design as well as helps you gift thoughtfully. We are thrilled to have them open for visitors to experience this special shop for themselves.”
Whimsy Willow is now open and located in Crocker Park’s West Park at 262 Crocker Park Blvd, hours of operation are Monday-Thursday, 11am-7pm, Friday, 11am-8pm, Saturday 10am-9pm, and Sunday 12pm-6pm. All products inside the shop are proudly made in the USA.
