“We’ve got such a wide variety of stuff… a thousand different things,” says store owner and manager John Beatty, who has been running Urban Cottage for six years. Along with his keen eye for what people want and what they’d be willing to pay for it, the store’s pricing structure keeps the customers coming back. “We reduce items five percent every two weeks,” says Beatty. “The store looks stale if things are around too long.” Beatty says that ideally the stock will turn over every 90 days. 1819 Granville, 423-3010
