Our story

Walt Ashby bought two chairs from a closing shop in Rogers, laid a green tile floor himself and opened the door on Dickson Street with forty dollars in the till.

In 2008 the storm drains backed up and the shop took six inches of water. Customers showed up with shop vacs. The floor survived; so did the shop.

Desmond Cole walked in for a haircut in 2013 and asked for a job. Walt made him sweep for three months before he touched a clipper.

In 2019 Walt made Desmond his partner. They added four chairs and kept everything else exactly the same — including the free coffee.
