During a Pandemic, they have re-opened their business without requiring masks as State mandated…read more They offer multiple arts and craft classes where everyone is sitting at tables close to each other and they do not wear masks, thereby possibly being a part of community spread. When I simply asked whether they participate in mask wearing, Laura, the manager, responded to me in anger and belligerence instead of speaking to me in a professional tone. As a business who wants their business to thrive, they do not seem concerned about their customers' safety. She also retaliated against me within the community and continues to harass me - just because I asked about masks. I have been nothing but a paying patron in their business and do not deserve to be harrassed politically. On the same public forum where I placed my one question, another person who had visited here from out of town asked the same question. Laura's response to her was "mind your own business."

My family and I stopped into Take Heart last month during our first visit to Blowing Rock. My…read more6-year-old daughter had been looking for a heart-shaped locket after losing one from her grandparents. She finally found what she was looking for at Take Heart! She immediately went to the counter so we could purchase it. The women there were so kind with her, asking about her purchase and her name. They were so touched by her story that they decided to gift it to her for Christmas! We were shocked! We were in the store for a brief amount of time, but that visit will leave a long-lasting impression on her and us. Thank you to "the purple shop" for creating such a wonderful Christmas memory for our family!

I live about 3-4 hours away from Dobson, NC and have never actually even been there, but I have a dear co-worker (we work for the same agency) who does live and work there. When I wanted to send her flowers on a birthday I "googled" florists in Dobson and Jo Jo's came up, I called and placed a delivery order and they were so nice on the phone and then the pictures of the flowers my friend sent to me...I could not have been more pleased!...I have used them several times since for my friend for different occasions, both happy and sad, and I must say Jo Jo's always makes it easy, from the extremely sweet, kind and helpful customers service on the phone, to the beautiful arrangements they make and deliver. I have had experiences in the past where I had to place an order online or over the phone (in different areas) and when the flowers were delivered they looked like "last weeks wilted toss outs", or lived one day, just because I was not a local person who could walk in and "call them out" if the flowers were half dead or droopy, but not Jo Jo's, they have always provided beautiful flowers for my orders! :) Nancy
