In September of 2003, Croton resident Hiten Shah opened his doors to welcome local area residents to his Peekskill retail shop.
Smart Buy, on Park Street and Route 6, offers mostly gift items. One of its biggest sellers is Shah's half-priced cards, but there are reasonably-priced items for all occasions and needs, including toys, cards, lottery tickets, religious gifts and unique knickknack figurines.
Shah enjoys working with the public and being able to provide a daily service to customers.
"I am truly glad to sell the requirements of the community to the community."
