This store is my favorite place to spend all my money and also for the great conversations with the gem of an owner. Especially during this pandemic, Nicole has gone above and beyond fulfilling my orders. This place is such a beacon of light, and everything in that store is so thoughtfully stocked. I could go on and on about all the great things about the owners and the store, but I’ll stop so you can go spend all your money supporting great causes. #shoplocal
Beacon is the best boutique store in Fondren. We are there at least once a month to stock up on handmade incense and see what other interesting finds they have brought in. I highly recommend it!
They werent exaggerating when they said they hand pick their stock and make sure everything offered is high quality. Literally. While the prices of their supplies are more on the expensive side, you can be rest assured youre getting your moneys worth. No longer do I have to worry about shopping at a chain art supply store where I risk buying supplies that might be subpar in quality. Beacon offers the best of the best and if something isnt available, theyre willing to order it for you. I also love that they host the Beacon Makers Market!
Their supplies were amazing and high quality but the staff were rude. They left me standing ready to pay at the register while assisting the one other customer in the store by explaining every product in front of them meticulously. By the time she got to me she started by yelling at my friend who was (unbeknownst to me) snacking and insisting that we should pay attention to the sign on the door. Then she must have felt she was on a roll because she continued to lecture me on how rude it was to complain about not being able to find the prices for anything in front of another customer.I’m an artist, I was so glad to find a place with really good supplies. I said, “Wow, eat your heart out Michaels!” And this woman, working in the middle of a Saturday, crushed those feelings of excitement by talking down at me and treating me with complete disrespect. I hate to watch a small business fail but I guess it’s back to Michaels until someone with real business sense takes over this place.Huge disappointment. Never going back.
Beacon has art supplies nobody else in town does. They are friendly and quick to help!
This place is awesome. Every item is unique and the owners are friendly and eager to help. Look forward to making many purchases from The Beacon.
Very helpful with any questions concerning art. Unique supplies, and only local store I know of that has posca markers. Great place for art supplies.
Amazing little store! Will return!
Knowledgeable couple with everything an artist could ask for... If they dont have it, theyll get it.
Great creativity supplies and other interesting restored and handcrafted goods. Also fun to talk with the owners.
I love that
