Cindy Rosslow and her cat “Meow”.
Greg says. “We work hard to make sure the customers have a
good experience when they come to Rosslow’s.”
Except for Greg and Cindy, most of the store’s 10 employees
are part-timers, like Pat Pronovost, a River Park resident
who has worked at the store for 43 years.
“We have customers come in who are grandmothers now,
who were school girls when they started,” Pronovost says.
“They say, ‘Oh, I remember you from when I came in here
with my mother.’ ”
The continuity is gratifying, she says.
“I love working here,” Pronovost says. “It’s a happy store,
very inviting.”
Meow proves the point by introducing himself.
