The ability to maintain the social and work life you love

“Past, present and future, we love serving this Canyon area,” current owner Glenda Moore said.

Local businesses impact Canyon’s economy
H.R. and Thelma Fulton started the business in 1947. Moore bought it from them in 2000 and has continued their tradition of full-service of fresh flowers with free wedding consultations, parties and funerals.
Customers can walk in and select fresh, ready-made arrangements or place orders for special requests. Moore can also place Teleflora orders. She rents plants for special occasions.
Marsha Clements Art Gallery is also just east of the square at 1608 Fourth Avenue. The gallery is also Clements’ studio, so visitors can watch her at work. In addition to painting landscapes, bison and large, colorful poppies, she also does commissioned art which includes places, pets and children. She also teaches an oil painting class in the studio.
“I don’t think you should buy a painting because it matches your couch,” Clements said. “I want you to buy a painting that makes you feel something because you will never get tired of looking at it.”
Once they make it to the historic square, shoppers can have many of their needs/wants filled locally by dropping into businesses there.

Burrowing Owl Books offers hours of browsing pleasure to its customers. Owners Dallas and Todd Bell turned their passion for books and love of reading into a new/used book business. Their selections include a large number of Texas-related books. They also feature books by local authors and often hold book signings for them. Their children’s book section features a wooden wardrobe children can walk through as in the Narnia books.
The bookstore is on the east side of the square, but the Bells have leased the 1909 First National Bank building on the northwest corner of the square. They plan to move their 18,000 books there this summer.

In addition to fresh flower arrangements, H.R.’s also offers a full array of gift items. Home decor items include clocks, pictures, knickknacks, Christian signs, crosses and Willow Tree items.
Moore also features seasonal gift items.
“We always take care of you for all the holidays and all the seasons,” she said.
H.R.’s is located at 2010 Fourth Ave., just a few blocks east of the square.
square carries bridal, baby and home decor items. The store has borne the name Thompson in its business title since T. C. Thompson opened it as Thompson’s Hardware Co. in 1908. The floor tiles just inside the door attest to the date.
The store has been restored to much of its original charm by the building’s owner Danny Anderson and gift shop owners Melissa and Jason Wright. They painted the ceiling red to accentuate the tin ceiling tiles and purchased a chandelier similar to the large crystal one T.C. Thompson’s parents had brought when they emigrated from Denmark.
They restored the original wood floors and painted the original hardware cabinets black.
When customers step into the store, they step into history as well as into an array of gift items.
Burrowing Owl Books is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Johnston’s Hardware offers everything a hardware store should offer. Its overhead signs indicate electrical, plumbing, and lumber, but a brief look around the store reveals so much more: smokers and grills, wind chimes, bird seed, snow shovels, etc. Current owner Curt Johnston offers extra services such as color-matching paint and cutting keys.
Built in the 1920s, the building still retains its 12 ft. high tin ceiling.

Canyon’s Edge Plants, just west of the square on Fifth Ave., is a garden center that specializes in xeriscape flowers, perennial and annual bedding plants and Panhandle native plants that save water and attract butterflies, birds and other pollinators. The center also carries succulents, houseplants and garden accessories.
Owner Neal Hinders is knowledgeable about what thrives in this area.
Canyon businesses offer something for everyone.
Shoppers never know what treasures they will find in ReuZe It Again, a thrift store on the north side of the square. It’s almost impossible not to be drawn into the store by the items on the sidewalk in front of the store and the themed window displays.
“We have an eclectic collection of rustic junk, everyday items and antiques,” owner Mardee Matlack said. “Let us know what you are looking for. We will be happy to help.”
