The Owners

Chickadee is owned by Glen and Missy Keenan.  Like our customers, we're parents who are equal parts thrifty and committed to sustainability.  We want to surround our kids with quality, safe, non-toxic, Earth-friendly, fun items -- without spending a lot! We lovingly hand-select each item we carry to be sure it's something we'd be proud to own ourselves.

Glen runs the day-to-day operations of the shop, so stop by to say hi. Special talents include juggling, puppet voices, and impromptu stories about giant robots.
