And... we're back! Sorry about the hiatus, but it's been a whole lot of work keeping up with the new store - not to mention the Jazz and Blues Festival stores that we run. Thankfully it's a also a whole lot of fun. Some interesting new releases this week including the new Bob Dylan - check 'em out. Also, we've been getting raves about our coffee, it's quite good. In fact, it's exceptional. So good that many folks have taken to buying it in bulk from us (we sell it by the 12oz bag and will even grind it for you if you like) for those times when they just can't get down to the store. If you haven't tried our coffee yet you might want to track down one of the new Shop Local flyers that the Leader put out. In it, amongst many great local deals, you'll find four coupons for 1/2 price espresso/tea drinks at Quimper Sound! Those are great for an inexpensive test drive. And finally, this weekend is the annual ParTy in PT/Sidewalk Sale- come down, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the great deals and all the fun stuff going on. Just a reminder that we are now open late, late, late. From 9am-10pm Sun-Thurs. and 9am-MIDNIGHT on Fri and Sat. All Espresso and Tea drinks are 1/2 price from 6pm-10pm Mon-Thurs. After 6pm there's plenty of parking both for your car outside and your tush inside! For a full list of new features click here .
