Three years ago a young man walked into finnesterre for a job interview. He had arrived early for his appointment, so he decided to explore the shop while he waited. Soon, the interview had to wait for him, so amazed was he by everything he was finding in the store, especially the original work by local artists. Secretly, he was hired before the interview happened. 😉
Hiring Drew is a decision we’ve never regretted, and if you’ve ever shopped here, you know why. Drew is a joy to be around. He brings so much energy and enthusiasm to the store. He loves our customers AND their dogs. We are sad to announce that, at the end of February, Drew will be moving on to a new chapter in his life.
But don’t worry! You will still be able to see him from time to time because he will be working with his wife, Jackie, at her Garibaldi pizza food cart, Fornax. (BTW - if you haven’t been to yet, go! Amazing wood fired pizza.) While we are sad to lose Drew, we are glad he will still be here on the coast, making it a better place to live—one happy customer at a time.
