May 3, 2016 - The Little Fox Marketplace is excited to announce many new changes for our store.
This spring, we added a selection of our products on Amazon. Listings on this amazing marketplace as well as our shops on Etsy and Big Commerce have allowed our customers -- both local and national -- to shop online as well as in the store.
During the spring, several vendors were added. They blended nicely with our existing vendors and artisans - all supplying a constantly changing inventory of unique boutique, art, and hand-crafted items.
Our T-shirt shop has expanded! We specialize in medium to large orders including businesses, teams, schools, and family reunions. Recent customers include Self Defense America, db Metal Art, Galindo Motorsports, and181st Airlift Squadron (Fort Worth). Designs are available using your custom artwork, logo, or pictures, as well as stock images.
Margaret's Lamb and Lion and Sassy Red's Bakery, are re-locating to another location. We wish the owners, Margaret Freeman and Cindy Freeman Lindsey, well in their new endeavor.
This Summer, we will renovate and improve the front of our building to conform to the Main Street Project vision. We will focus on the brick, awning, and windows. As we endeavor to support local businesses, we welcome local contractors to make suggestions and provide estimates at thelittlefoxmarket@yahoo.com.
As the exterior of the store is transformed, we will also be making several changes on the inside. We have many new ideas for the store. First and foremost, we would like a store with home-town honesty, integrity, and service. Soon, we will send out a survey to find out what new products and services the local community would like for us to offer.
In order to make all of these changes and keep our customers safe in the process, we will be closed temporarily beginning June 1st. During this time, our online stores will still be available. T-shirt orders may also be made by leaving a phone message or by contacting us via e-mail or Facebook.
Thank you to all of our customers that have been with us this exciting first three years! We welcome your comments and suggestions via email. Updates on the renovation projects will be provided on our Facebook page. We look forward to showing you all of the improvements in person in late Summer!
