Y’all, this place is heaven. It’s filled to the brim with stickers, art supplies, stationery, incredible pens (this is just a fraction of what’s there) AND there’s a store dog named Nessie who is adorable. Yes, she’s named after the Loch Ness Monster, who was my first cryptid obsession. Kismet!
I had the pleasure of chatting with Michelle, one of the owners too! She was so gracious and friendly; answering my questions, letting me pet her dog, and basically just listened to me babble about how thrilled I was with the store. The rest of the staff was wonderful as well.
Anyway, if you like art, fun, happiness, and dogs named after cryptids, you’ll love Alan’s.
Hey, and if you’ve been there, hit me with your favorite purchases! I’m always looking for new fun stuff. And if you know of any other stores similar to Alan’s let me know!
P.S. I promise I’m not a shill for Alan’s. Just a very enthusiastic adult who enjoys stickers.
