Winter Time

Welcome to Winter in Illinois! In the event of inclement weather: To
keep our staff safe and off slippery roads during snow storms - please
call the shop 309-944-2620 to confirm that we are open. All of our
staff drive in from outside of town and even though Scout believes that
we should go to the bank every day for his "biscuit run" sometimes the
smart move is to stay home and wait out the storm.

Winter Store Hours

Monday & Tuesday: CLOSED
Wednesday - Friday: 12pm - 5pm
Saturday: 10am-4pm

Sunday: 12pm - 4pm

On-line shopping

Good news!  We have finally finished recreating the inventory in our point-of-sale system after literally melting the new hard drive.  (A piece of advice – when your IT professional says check your backups – LISTEN TO THEM.  It has been an extremely painful lesson for us to learn… so we now have redundant backups.)   Now that we can refresh our lists, we are updating the website with our more popular inventory items under the Products dropdown.  It is a continual work-in-progress, but you can check the lists for item descriptions, model numbers and availability. Please keep in mind that the people in charge of updating the lists (Lynn and Carya) have jobs outside of the shop and always make sure to check the ‘last updated’ date. Please send us an email or give us a call to confirm availability and place your order.  We are always happy to ship orders – we are noticing delivery date estimates from our shippers are slowly becoming longer and longer so plan ahead.
