To Our Eugene Customers & Fans


I'm sorry to announce that our Eugene store closed today.

We've been at Fifth St. Public Market so long that it feels feels like we've left family.

2008 was a rough year for the economy and it was a challenging time for retailers like us.

Additionally, my mother Susan, who has run the store for twelve years, is on the brink of a significant birthday that is above the traditional age of retirement. She wants to spend a little less time folding towels and making beds, and more time with her three grandsons who are all under the age of 10 and live in Portland.

We're happy to report that our flagship store in Portland's vivacious Pearl District will now serve as the French Quarter mother ship for all our business, including our newly launched, full-service website.

If you haven't seen our Pearl store, we believe it's worth the effort. With nearly 5,000 square feet of showroom space, we're able to how amazing bedding options and collections on our 14 display beds.

We hope to see you soon. Or, 24/7 you can find us on our website.
