Shop welcomes customers with affordable, high-end products—and free snacks
When Cal Williams and John Dotson opened Revolution Home in February 2012, they began with two clear goals: to offer high-quality home decor products at reasonable prices and to create a welcoming space for customers and friends alike.
Literal "Welcome" signs hang from several spots in the 2,850-square-foot shop, and customers are greeted at one entrance by a black metal frog holding another "Welcome" sign above its head.
The men make sure the store's refrigerator is stocked with free beverages for customers. Free cookies and snacks fill two baskets along one wall while two courtyards offer a place for visitors to relax.
