Icon Brings Hip, Funky Gift Items to Mill Avenue
Tucson, AZ – Although Shane Henson and Charles Goffnet created Icon, it’s difficult for even them to come up with a simple description of their eclectic shop on Mill Avenue.
“We didn’t want to say it’s a boutique because men will think it’s just for women,” he said.
“And it’s not a gift shop because people will come in and find something for themselves and not necessarily to give it to someone else. We’ll see.”
With a goal of bringing a business to downtown Tempe that was unlike its neighbors and reflected the diverse tastes of the area’s patrons, Henson and Goffnett opened Icon next door to Brand X Custom T-Shirts.
