Construction Season

Submitted by carlk on Mon, 04/23/2012 - 11:48am

the City Of Anoka has started a construction project that will be going on through the summer. Bad news is main street in front of the shop will be tore up and 1st ave will be closed for awhile...good news is they will be attempting to finish each section before moving to the next so we will be the first section tore up and completed...so please bear with us while the city makes things nice and purty for us...right now the best way to get to the shop is to turn south onto second ave turn west on monroe (towards the river) then come back up towards main street and park in the lot

the fall season is coming things will slow down a bit at the shop on all the small stuff and we will start to book out more full days with the larger pieces, so if your wanting that small stuff make sure you stop in still and try and set up an appointment...

NO MORE BODY PIERCING June 2 2011

Yes the rumors are true FYT is getting rid of piercing. After 15 years of providing it im calling it quits, the piercing industry isnt what it used to be. FYT has always strived to give great customer service and high standards. The piercing industry has taken a hit from cheaper piercers and people selling budget jewelry and places like hot topic and even walmart selling body jewelry. Most of this jewelry is substandard, but with the prices they are asking its hard to compete with them. The biggest problem has been the saturation of shops and pierce
