Heather and the Empire team are amazing! In the last year, I have been dealing with health and mobility issues so it has been necessary for me to use curbside service.Everybody at Empire store have gone above and beyond to help me out. Nicest people ever. Thanks so much. Awesome selection of products too. 😘

Last summer I stopped by the Empire location after spending the day at the Ren Faire, feeling a bit embarrassed about what I was wearing. A girl who worked there noticed my shirt and complimented it, she was cute. That small moment stuck with me, and thinking about it still makes me smile months later. Kindness like that really goes a long way
