History
Established in 1985.
It all started in 1985 in a small corner of our local Rite Aid. We quickly became a popular go-to gift store and moved into our own space shortly thereafter. Soon we expanded into the space next door, allowing for even more room for unique gifting items and home décor. As our unique product mix grew, new lines were added in addition to custom invitations, stationery, and a full bridal registry. In the summer of 1999, the beautiful and trendy Eggplant moved into our current home right across the street. Since then, our trendy offerings, beautiful event invitations, and complimentary gift wrap have drawn customers from every part of the state. Our customers have come to rely on the excellent customer service, anything-but-ordinary gifts, and wrap that offers a glimpse of the gift inside!
Meet the Business Owner: Elisa P.
Elisa Payne started working at Eggplant in 2005. At first she worked just a couple of day a week while her children were still young. As they grew and developed their own interests, Elisa fell in love with eggplant and found her passion! She and her husband were given a wonderful opportunity to own Eggplant in October of 2012, and they gladly accepted. Now, with children in middle and high school and a house full of furry friends, Elisa has made this beautiful shop her second home!
