Hucklebeary Craft and Gift Shop Hosts Employee Garage Sale

DULUTH, Minn. — A local craft and gift shop is giving their employees a chance to sell their own items.

It’s the Hucklebeary Employee Garage Sale. Staff are selling antiques, clothing, books all outside of the store. They were given a month and a half to put together items. The event is happening during Downtown Duluth’s Sidewalk Days. The owner says she wanted to help make Downtown more inviting.

“I think to show activation, livelihood, and excitement in downtown is key for people wanting to come downtown and shop with us,” said Emily Ekstrom, owner of Hucklebeary. “Just a way to create a community and an environment and that’s what Downtown should feel like and we want to help contribute to that so, we’ve been having fun out here.”

The store has a few items on sale as well. On Friday the employee garage sale runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
