We also loved the photos and paintings. Over the years we kept looking for that right photo of our Temple - the SLC temple. We were so excited when we found that perfect photo on this visit. The photo is called SLC Temple at Twilight and they just placed it on the exhibit floor. The photo is perfect and so is the dark wood frame matching the decor in our home. On every visit the staff is so helpful and friendly.

A few months ago, a man named Garrett Holden walked into my tattoo shop. He introduced himself as…read morethe owner of Cottonwood Collective, and wanted to thank me for the mural I painted "on his wall." For those of you that don't know, I painted the Albert Einstein mural on the side of their cinderblock building behind State Farm attached to Cottonwood Collective. So, I gratefully shook his hand and told him that it was my pleasure. When he walked into my building, I was working on feather flags to be displayed near roadside. I was about to spend $200 a piece. I was finished with the design formatted to the exact parameters of a 13' feather flag. He jumped in and claimed that he could do it for much less. He then gave me his card. After talking about possible business, I decided to let him do it. He promised to have it to me in 1-2 weeks, and I gave him 50% down to begin: and promised the other half on delivery. After waiting for 3-4 weeks, we called him and couldn't get through. Eventually, my secretary runs into him and asks him to call me. He definitely did within a couple of days. He apologized then continued to say that he messed up the first order and had to reorder it. I didn't hear from him for about 3-4 more weeks. I called and asked him to come by the shop. He did not come by or call me back. My secretary went over to Cottonwood trying to find Garrett Holden. (gholden@TRUmarketing.net) He was not there. The lady at the desk informed my secretary that he was not the owner. So, I tried to call him again: no response. I waited another week and told him that I was going to call the police if he didn't return my money as it has been almost 3 months since he accepted the job. He didn't respond, and we made another attempt to see him in person. The woman at the desk was not the same as the first that we visited. She said, in fact, that Garrett was part owner with her, and the other woman was the owner of the building. He wasn't there, and we left a message for him to call us. I did call the police, and they informed me that this was a civil matter. I'm sure that I would win the lawsuit should I decide to go through with it, and I may, but for the meantime I want to inform the people of Mountain Home that there is a problem with one of the owners from Cottonwood. This man is not honest, ethical, or anywhere near in practice of good business. I wouldn't recommend doing business with him. I have heard nothing but negative town sentiment over this man as he does this sort of thing to other people, as well. As far as the rest of the business, I like the building, the owner of the building, the mural, and the layout and quality of the inventory on the inside. I have no opinion of the other owner, as I have never met her. I would like to apologize to her for having to suffer the impact of such a large review. This review and the other reviews I will leave in other locations will leave a mark on her 1/2 of the business as well inadvertently, and for that I am sorry, but I am just wanting the respect that I deserve. Garrett took my money, promised a service, and kept the money with the intent of never providing the service. This is considered fraud and theft in my eyes. In some states it is highly illegal. I want to mention again, I am not reviewing his partner, I am reviewing Garrett Holden and Tru Marketing Concepts or any other business that Garrett Holden is in charge of. Thank you for you time, Justin Abel

While they did not have the book I was looking for, I wasn't able to walk out empty handed. They have a wide variety with great prices! I saw this display on my way out and was so tempted to get one. But I will definitely be planning a return trip for a blind date with a book.
