Do you often find yourself saying “I just gotta have it!”? Well so do we! So there you have it, by changing the “gotta” to “Got2” we found ourselves in business.
Friends and business partners Michelle Ruby and Barbara Knight are not only crazy about shopping; they are passionate about the gift industry. They absolutely love what they do and want to share it! That is why their mission is:
“To continually bring you the latest in fashion and trends while keeping you in touch with tradition. Searching the world for items that you simply… Just Got 2 Have!”
We pledge to provide you the quality of service that will bring you back again and again. Our hope is to exceed your expectations every time and if we fall short, that you pick up the phone and call either one of us. We’ll not only take care of the problem, but make sure it doesn’t happen to you, or anybody else again.
