Not Gleeful

Competition is good, right?

It keeps you focused on your game. It challenges you. It keeps you on your toes. It forces creative thinking and problem solving.

And in the world of high-end quality products, competitors help justify the validity of such products in customers' minds.

Everybody wins.

After catching wind of my main competitor's store closing, I dialed the phone and had a long chat with the owner.

Holly Heidebrecht, owner of The Compleat Bed & Breakfast started the company with her mother, Judy, over 20 years ago. Their store on NW 23rd is closing next month.

Over the years we've had our differences and challenges, but I wanted to let Holly know that none of us at French Quarter is happy about the closing and we offer our sincere regret and best wishes to Holly and her mom.

Meanwhile, please drop by Holly's store at 615 NW 23rd Ave  (Phone: 503-221-0193) and check out their final offerings. 

Holly is moving forward in the business world with her own line of loungewear which you can preview and shop at www.becompleat.com

Holly and Judy: we wish you both well and we congratulate you on your 20+ years in the rewarding and challenging business of fine bedding!
