I went to Askew Taylor’s yesterday for the first time in 10 years.
Cluttered with art supplies of all size and variety, it was exactly how I remembered it.
Of course, being a decade older made me a lot less intimidated by the Artists who Shopped There, plus I got to strike up conversation with the owner, Kirk Taylor.
DK: Thanks for staying in business!
KT: Well, sure.
Here’s a quote by Kirk on the store’s website:
In the 1960’s, my father told me the best way to be successful was to take care of each customer’s needs to the best of your ability and let the business grow through word of mouth. This also reflected John Askew’s business philosophy. Now, it is my goal to implement that philosophy as well as they did.
Be good to customers. Grow by word of mouth. Wow, that’s exactly how we kick it at DK, too.
I hope to get to know more about how Raleigh has evolved, but also stayed the same.
It’s nice getting reacquainted with my hometown.
