About Us
Shirley Payne opened Sophie Joe's Emporium for business for the first time on December 10, 2001. At that time it was a small shop with 5-10 dealers max. The popularity of Shirley's creation skyrocketed and Sophie Joe's currently houses over 50 dealers at any given time and we have 5000 square feet of space filled with an incredible selection of wonderful things. Our management team consists of: Shirley, Corrine, Cathy, Susan, Rosie, Candi, Kate & Deb. We are staffed by our dedicated dealers! Sophie Joe's plays an important role in our community as we participate in charity events such as The Festival of Trees at holiday time. Shirley won an award from The City of St. Paul for her beautiful flowers gracing the storefront. We also have won a "Best of the Best" award from Mpls/St. Paul Magazine. Special events at Sophie Joe's are a ball! We are on the stop lists for several different tours that come around. Whether it is a shopping tour, a gardening tour or a mystery tour we are prepared with refreshments, a promotion and much extra help from our dealers so this experience is both efficient and fun! Another type of event we can do is private shopping parties. This is where one or two of our customers set a date and time for their friends and family members to gather at Sophie Joe's for a special shopping time. There are refreshments and a special promotion too! This is normally done after regular store hours so the staff and shop are dedicated to those in the party. |
