From the beginning (November, 1992), Owners Shirley and Les McDowell have built a solid reputation as Scarborough's favorite gift store. The McDowell's are committed to helping their customers find just the right card/gift to express their sentiments for any occasion. They believe in providing quality products at a reasonable price with excellent customer service.
Shirley started her Hallmark career by installing and remodeling Hallmark stores and drug stores. Les's background was in banking and corporate finance, with an occasional assist in Hallmark store remodeling. When the opportunity to start a Hallmark store in Scarborough came along, they decided to take it.
