The Bead Shoppe is owned by Melonie Gulley, who previously worked as a massage therapist. Gulley says the shop is an homage to her grandmother, who spent a lot of time beading.
The Bead Shoppe carries hard-to-find and vintage beads, and beading classes are held on request. Gulley holds "girls night outs" for groups of 10 or more.
The store is located in the Twin Oaks shopping plaza, next to the Salvation Army.
