When did your business open? Studio 24E has been in business since 2002. We had brick-and-mortar stores in Linthicum, Garrett County and Glen Burnie. We consolidated to one location in Thurmont in June.

What does the business offer? We offer great gift-giving options, which includes brands like Simply Southern, Puppie Love, Michael Kors, Gucci and The Sak, just to name a few.

Why did you launch the business? We have a love of retail and a passion for creating an environment that is both comfortable and approachable for customers to shop in.

Why did you choose this location for your business? Thurmont is a beautiful area. We had found a home in Thurmont that kept calling to us. At the same time, the retail space became available in Thurmont, so we moved there. Call it fate!
