We said goodbye to our beloved Shady Lane storefront of 35 years and its iconic creaky floors in the historic 1920s building on University Ave in Palo Alto. The building was sadly torn down for a massive 4-story structure. We're thrilled to have found a new home in Sharon Heights Shopping Center, Menlo Park! Our customers followed us here, and we couldn't be more grateful. Help support a legacy store where parking is easy, and our stand-alone octagon building is charming.
