Is that the store you can see on the right when you are on I-12 heading to I-10??

I know man

That place has been around my entire life.

They used to have some awesome non-PC buttons that said shite like Scalp the seminoles and had a picture of Mike Scalping a seminole.

From what I read, the family wanted to do something else. My question is that if this is true why not sell the store. Tyger Gifts is a landmark and I haven't been this upset since Pancho's closed. No not that new garbage they called Pancho's on Airline, the old one on Vets.

Always bought my stuff from there... I liked them because they always kept enough normal sizes in stock. And they normally had a good kid selection too.

I remember picking up a NC shirt there on Jan. 5, 2004. There was a news crew reporting from the store. Nice place; too bad.

Sorry to hear they are closing. I have been going there since day one when they were in a small warehouse by the Harvey Canal on the west bank. These days I guess it is hard to compete with the internet and the big chains.

Hate to see them go. I have been buying from them for decades.

The parents retired a couple years ago (I believe) and the daughter took it over. Guess she fricked it all up.
