From the Archives: Buy Indie!

aMuse is a family owned, independent retailer. 

When Tom and I first entertained the idea of going into business we were driven by the prospect of being a part of something in our community; something that people would feel connected to, not simply a storefront.   After many years of indentured servitude I can say happily that we have accomplished just that.  aMuse is not only an award winning retail store, it is a place where conversations about education, early childhood development, and all things family and Baltimore take place every day.  We strive to provide our customers with peace of mind and serve as a resource for purposeful play.  We take great care in the products and vendors we stock; all are thoroughly researched and carried with purpose. 

Over the years we have expanded and have grown our team to over 8 individuals.  We provide health benefits, pay wages that allow for quality of life and professional growth, contribute thousands of dollars to our local community and have dedicated thousands of hours and dollars to non-profits working on a wide range of initiatives in the Baltimore area.

All of this would never be possible without the support of so many loyal customers.  Our success is a testament to your values and your choice to support an indie retailer like aMuse, for this, Tom, Sebastian and I thank you. 

Continuing to share birthdays and so many other milestones will always be a privilege Tom and I treasure.  Do you remember the first time you came to aMuse?  We'd love to hear about some of your families' aMuse stories.
