Expanding business and staff is making it possible for Plain and Simple to have its doors open on Mondays. This means you can visit or call Plain and Simple six days a week (Monday through Saturday) from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. We are grateful to be able to offer our customers this added convenience.

September 4 will be the Fourth Birthday of Plain and Simple

staff — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 17:51:31 -0700

Reba Place Fellowship approved the proposal for Plain and Simple on July 31, 2004. The month of August went to a gut rehab of the entire space, hiring staff, acquiring equipment and inventory, and preparing toward an early fall opening. Doors opened on September 4. At first it seemed that almost no one knew we were here. We handed out flyers at the local Metra station and door-to-door in the immediate neighborhood. By December there were respectable early-stage sales, but during the winter of 2005 it was hard to see how we could keep going. Large sales during the June Custer St.

New Basement

staff — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 12:42:35 -0700

After having to tear out nearly everything in the basement after the flood, we decided it was time to make the area a more usable space. So now, we're in the middle of remodeling: taking out one of the walls, putting in new floorboards, new carpet, and modifying the ceiling. We will continue to stay open during construction; they're only working down stairs. So we appologize for the noise, but we're looking forward to having a lot of extra room to show pieces here in the store.

New Staff

staff — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 12:26:03 -0800

We are glad to welcome Joshua McCallister to our Plain and Simple staff. He moved here from New Mexico and will be replacing Brandon Lane. He will be drawing up custom pieces you request so we can better describe them to our producers. He will also be working with Adam Vaughan in picking up the furniture from Indiana to bring back to the store or deliver it to your home. We hope you will get to meet him soon.
