THE BEE’S KNEES

Variety, positive experiences ensure customer loyalty

“The bee’s knees,” meaning “the height of excellence,” is a saying that describes a highly admired person or thing.

That is why Jodi Vehlies named her business The Bee’s Knees when she opened it five years ago. She said that is how she operates the business.

Everything that is sold there represents The Bee’s Knees and she is proud of all the products the business offers.

The vendors with booths at The Bee’s Knees also take pride in their booth space, treating each booth as a small store, not just a place for products to be displayed.

Vehlies said one thing that sets the venue apart from other similar businesses is the fact that the employees help customers carry out and load purchases. This type of service leads to repeat customers.

The Bee’s Knees offers a wide array of items, such as antiques; home decor; vintage items; new, re-created and redesigned items; art; personalized signs; and other personalized products. The business truly caters to any style and budget.

Customers have described The Bee’s Knees as “more than just shopping,” “an experience” and “like walking into Pinterest.”

For the do-it-yourself customer, The Bee’s Knees now carries Maison Blanche paint in a variety of colors. If customers are not up to the task of refinishing items themselves, they can pick a paint, and one of the vendors will be happy to get the job done.
