1ST PLACE: Fir Street Gallery
6256 Skyway; 872-8889

Pam Funk is one of Paradise’s biggest cheerleaders when it comes to the town’s downtown revitalization efforts. Her stores, Fir Street Gallery and the adjoining Creative Glass Carvings, add quite a bit of class to the ‘hood. The Gallery is a classy and bountiful place to pick up specialty gifts, original art, jewelry, fragrance candles and gourmet food items, while one little corner of the store hosts wine tastings on Fridays and Saturdays. Funk’s Creative Glass Carvings offers custom art-glass supplies and stained glass classes

 

Editor's Choice 2007

Voted the "Best Place to Browse" on the Ridge

by Chico News & Review

Fir Street Gallery & Gifts started out as a small gallery located inside our sister store, Creative Glass Carvings. Due to the overwhelming reception from our customers, within 5 months of it's conception Creative Glass Carvings and Fir Street Gallery & Gifts switched places in the building, Fir Street Gallery taking the larger space.

A year later, Creative Glass Carvings, needing more space, moved to the newly vacated store in the same building and Fir Street Gallery & Gifts expanded once again. The addition of wine and wine tasting in 2005 led to dedicating the middle part of the store to wine, gourmet food and cheese. Offering wine and food tastings every Friday & Saturday. La Stanza di Vino "The Wine Room" is expanding it's tasting area and adding coolers for gourmet cheese and specialty meats. The expansion should be complete early 2009.

Owner Pam and her husband Hal own the building and have completed a lodge style facade in participation of the Downtown Revitalization program. Helping to run the two businesses is Pam & Hal's daughter Carly Metroka. Helping the day to day tasks are the rest of the "Fir Street Gal's" Wendy, and Cindy, who help Fir Street Gallery & Gifts, Creative Glass Carvings & La Stanza di Vino offer a fun and exciting place to shop!
