Franklin’s On The Waterfront, St. Croix<\/span><\/h2>\n

Open since 2011, Franklin’s is a funky and fun store that specializes in unique items (like Dune) and offers local made products as well. Here’s what Michelle, Franklin’s Proprietor had to say:<\/span><\/p>\n

“I carry products I stand behind and that I\u2019m passionate about. My goal is to stand out and be me. Everyone can do the same thing and fit in, but I like being different and in my own category.\u00a0 People feel good when they come in and leave with something that\u2019s not mainstream. Dune sells for me because I believe in it! I wear it!\u00a0 And being able to show people that the price points are for every budget is especially helpful.” – Michelle, Franklin’s Proprietor<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nifty Things, MI<\/span><\/h2>\n

Opened by owners Doug and Martee Hickman in 2006, Nifty Things has 3 unique stores in “Up North” Michigan: Alden, Elk Rapids, and their youngest, yet largest location, Traverse City.<\/span><\/p>\n

“What makes Nifty Things successful is no secret. We have the best people. We work hard. We sell the most unique items way before other stores get them. We change almost 50 percent of the store items several times a year, and most important, we have fun doing it. That\u2019s why our customers keep coming to our stores. They want to see what\u2019s new, and what\u2019s hot!\u00a0 The customers also like to take a piece of Northern Michigan back with them, and the Dune pieces we have allow them to do just that.” – Nifty Things <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
