Love This Place

I went in to Cook's Emporium to talk with Margaret(owner) about a business matter. I'm new to the Ames area, and had never been into her store before. Needless to say, after our "business" was handled, I couldn't stop myself from walking around her store, and seeing all that she had. You wouldn't know from the outside appearance, how loaded this place is with great finds, and GREAT prices! They had everything that you could think of when looking for things to use in the kitchen. The quality of her products were awesome, and I realized that I no longer had to rely on my Pampered Chefs account to get what I wanted. She has all the little gadgets that you want, as well as all the cookware, drinkware, baking ware, coffee stuff, etc that you could ever want. I ended up buying an absolutely adorable Leopard Print Apron, and bought my boyfriend a new wine opener(so he stops stealing mine!). Goodbye to paying too much online with shipping and handling! I just found my new favorite, locally owned place to pick up all my kitchen needs!
