Stanley: Now Available At Yellow Jacket

If you know Annette, you know that she is a straight shooter. So when she looked at me earlier this spring and said, “You have to carry Stanley at the men’s store,” I knew I really needed to. But I didn’t even know what she was talking about. She explained that they were these very cool and sturdy thermoses and tumblers that everyone was using. Turns out, everyone in our stores was already using them. Okay, so most have the Adventure Quencher Travel Tumbler, which is only available directly from Stanley. But that doesn’t mean they don’t have tons of great options for us to stock on our shelves.

The company started in 1913, and they actually invented the all-steel vacuum bottle that so many other brands try to replicate. They are the original, and they have been doing it for more than 100 years. When I told my husband about it, he, of course, already knew all about the brand and told me they primarily make hand tools and that his grandfather carried a Stanley thermos full of coffee both to the factory where he worked and on his many bird hunting trips. He started singing their decades-old advertising jingle… “Stanley: we wanna help you do things right.” It fits - it’s a practical company with practical products. They have so many amazing products, especially for the outdoor adventurer. We have stuck to carrying items that help keep your coffee hot or your water cold but let us know if there is something else you are looking for, we are always up to add more to the selection. I got my kids the IceFlow Flip Straw Jug; it is perfect for sports and even has a built-in fence hook.

Owner | The Hive, The Shoe Hive, and Yellow Jacket

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
