History
Owners Raymundo Garcia and Karen Maravilla are passionate about their Downtown. So much so that they purchased three buildings in Downtown Hammond to help make their Downtown a destination. They combined their love of antiques, art, libations, and food into unique businesses. They serve as board of directors of the Downtown Hammond Council which is a volunteer, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization whose mission is to revitalize, beautify, and promote Downtown Hammond. Downtown Hammond is where Raymundo and Karen's parents took them shopping as children. It is very fulfilling and exciting to be a part of the rebirth of their beloved Downtown!
