The Owl Shop of Worcester could use our help.

[zeedoctorae]

Greetings Ladies and Gents,
Just wanted to let everyone know that The Owl Shop of Worcester is having a bit of trouble as of late. The city just closed off their street for construction and isn't supposed to have things finished until after January, which poses a bit of a problem for them during the Holiday season. If anyone wishes to help a brother in need, order some tobacco from them!
PS- I am not affiliated with them at all. I'm just a guy trying to help 'em out. I called in today to make an order and Zack, the owner, told me what was going on.

Zack is a great guy, 'Woosta' has been driving him nuts for years with the bike lane expansion.

How do you order from them?. The website has no prices or basket.

 

[mikethompson]

Sounds like an interesting B&M, nothing like that around here.

 

[zeedoctorae]

To order, you just call the number at the bottom of the website main page and Zack will answer. Real friendly guy.

Can you make it past construction to the shop? I will be down that way for work.

 

[zeedoctorae]

I'm not exactly sure if the sidewalk is closed too. Give them a call though.

Piper64, there is also an email address next to the phone number for you to ask about prices.

I second the question, as I live about 40 minutes from Worcester and will surely make the trip if so.

 

[aquadoc]

Yes. You can park at the bank on weekends and various other places during week. Sidewalk is open.

Zack could do himself a favor and upgrade his website.

I'm surprised the town doesn't take better care of its merchants. The construction perhaps can't be avoided, but efforts could be made to keep the foot traffic coming -- signs emphasizing the open shops, extra holiday decorations, emphasis on where you can park to walk, etc. Empty store fronts don't generate tax revenue. The city council, whatever it's called there, should get it in gear.

Thanks Doc.

This is Massachusetts we're talking about here.

I gave the site a look thinking that I would make a purchase "to help out", nope, ordered from somewhere easier :|

I think phone orders are the way to help. I have (for me) so much leaf on hand and a Christmas pipe request, so may not be much use here.
