Once again, my conjecture was seriously flawed.
People bring in their crafts, wares and jewelry, rent space and sell their goods on consignment.
What may seem an odd juxtaposition of endeavors makes perfect sense to owner and manager Eddie Quillman, who grew up in St. Louis, Missouri, where his family operated a corner drug store. Our store was the kind of place where you could come in, pick up a few personal items, get your prescription filled at the drug store in back and then sit down at the soda fountain and get something to eat. The idea of having a store that does many different things doesn't seem strange to me at all. In addition, Quillman likes the energy that a restaurant engenders, especially during the afternoon lunch hour when workers are scrambling to quell their appetites and get back on the job within the course of an hour. The temptation to linger is not a problem at Eddie Eagle's, as the only tables available are in the patio section of the store.
