Ol isn't your average shopkeeper.

He's a man who pulled a decade in the kitchens and another in the world of high-end furniture making. Two distinct crafts, one shared truth: you can't fake quality.

He's travelled, seen it all, and yet the old dream of a general store was always there, pulling him home. The opportunity arose in his hometown of Settle, and it was a gut feeling—the right time, the right place.

Now, back in his grandparents' old farmhouse, he's built something that is a true reflection of everything he’s learned and everything he believes in. This isn't just a shop; it's a testament to good work and a life well-lived.
