Emporium Offers Friendly Melange of Retail Styles
Oneonta, NY – The ladies at Theresa’s Emporium and company have a great time when they gather together at the store trading stories, comparing notes on recent purchases and mutually supporting one another’s ventures.
Theresa’s Emporium is a collection of four different stores within the rather large confines of a storefront in the Klugo Parkview Place building, formerly Bresee’s department store. Theresa Cyzeski sells home décor and American-made gifts. Kathy Verrelli, Cyzeski’s sister, has Kathy’s Cozy Cupboard and sells a variety of fair trade goods. Tammy Barry sells American-made pet supplies in her shop, Playful Puppy, and Kathie Greenblatt repurposes old and used items for resale.
“We flow from one store to another,” Cyzeski said Thursday as she walked around her shop. “If I didn’t tell you where my shop started and Kathie’s shop ended, you would never know that there is more than one shop in here.”
