The Tree House
Thanks for visiting. Our website is under construction.
The Tree House is a jeans and workwear store that has been “defying gravity” on Main Street in Granby, MO (Pop. approximately 2,121 depending on which city limit sign you look at) for over 20 years.
In an age where virtually all retailers, large and small, are up against the Wal (Mart), we think our continued existence as a viable business is a little unusual, if not an outright miracle.
Well, maybe it has something to do with the way the whole thing started, Pat and Vern (Granny and Granddad) doing the small town entrepreneurial thing that they do (literally a marriage of Ozark entrepreneuring and hillbilly engineering).
Maybe it has something to do with the patience and skill of my wife, Beth, the lady who runs the place. She has a resume, I like to say (Wash U, St. Louis, Vandy MBA). I have a past.
Anyway, thanks to the world wide web, the obsolescing of small town America may slow some. We’re going to try to keep doing business on Main Street, and—via our soon-to-come website—also on the Information Super Highway.
Soon we’ll have a website featuring workwear, jeanswear, western wear in brand names like Carhartt, Key, Big Smith, Levi’s, Lee, Wrangler, Rocky Mountain, Cinch, at prices folks in this region have appreciated for a long time.
And we’ll try to do it on the web like we do it here at home—with a personal touch, a little news of family and friends (not to say gossip), and an interest in what’s happening with you, not just what kind of jeans, jackets and overalls you happen to be wearing when it does.
We hope you’ll come back and visit.
