RETAILER PROFILE: PARKSIDE LINEN

Parkside Linen is “resolutely a brick-and-mortar establishment.”

So says owner Shandon Whistler, adding: “We do not do e-commerce.”

If a customer wants something from the upstairs home textiles and accessories boutique, “they can call us up on the phone, and we will send it over – anything they want that we offer.”

It’s the way Shandon successfully runs her longtime business, based in Indianapolis, IN. “We like to do one bed at a time, one table at a time. We’re very intentional about what we do.”

She goes on: “At Parkside Linen, we are considered experts at making beds. We create a sleep system for our customers from the mattress up, literally.”

Parkside carries Vispring mattresses, which are handmade in England, as the foundation of their sleep assortment – “and then we go from there,” she explained.

That means a robust offering of “wonderful down bedding products from many different sources” PLUS a variety of luxury linens.

TL at Home is proudly part of the product mix.

Shandon raves about TL’s bedding selection, which she described as broad and “all good! I can’t say enough of TL at Home. It’s a company that offers great products and the greatest service. That is their hallmark. If they don’t have something you need, they’ll help you find an alternative. They care and work hard to solve your problem.”

And our sampling, she stresses, “is wonderful! For a small store like ours, nice samples are hugely important, and Shari offers great samples.”

Thanks so much, Shandon! We ♥ ParksideLinen, too!
