From simple beginnings
The hospital’s auxiliary gift shop history began as a closet
with simple sundry items for the convenience of patients’ families and
visitors. Over the 45 plus year history, the GRMC Auxiliary’s gift shop has
grown and moved several times to the current location, inside the medical
center’s front entrance and across from the laboratory area.
Hospital auxiliary members have a very long history of
running a gift shop, where the proceeds from the shop go to the auxiliary,
which supports the medical center.
Wow Factor
Humble beginnings do not mean boring merchandise! The Glass
Gift Box purchasing team of three volunteers led by Cara Kenkel seeks out
unique items. As most economic development reports show, a community with a
variety of similar business types builds a synergy and opinion that the
community has many choices for consumers. When that occurs, shoppers are more
likely to remain in the community to shop for that type of merchandise. We hope
so. Grinnell has many great shops and The Glass Gift Box is one of the choices
for shoppers.
