What Happened When Valley Junction Shopkeeper Dreamed, ‘If I Ever Own a Store …’
Valley Junction, IA – Gail Boothe knows all about that tired couch, loveseat and chair grouping featured in the Sunday newspaper advertising sections, their upholstery a tired refrain playing in living rooms across the state and region.
She worked in the big-box industry for years. So when it came time to open her own shop, she first went back to the drawers full of brochures she had collected while looking for furnishings for her own home.
Customers at her new Valley Junction store – Space Doctors Interiors – will see where Boothe’s search for unique items took her.
