Hardware Stores...off topic? - General Tiki

They all generally order with a big ol' twang in their voices and are some of the nicest people we work with. Yes, it is true, tikis can be found in hardware stores!... wierd, but very true! What we've found is that these are the die-hard stores in old, historic buildings that have been run by about 8-generations and that their customer databse is so loyal that they do whatever they please and try their best to keep their offerings new and crazy. Generally, we're stuck next to their barbecues and they promote us as "hey, wouldn't you like to barbecue and tilt back back a cocktail while tending to the flounder in one of these crazy tiki mugs!". This is a true story! Holden
