One of the greatest joys of being an Architect is helping entrepreneurs bring their creative visions to life. A recent opportunity arose when Ann Peterson of Island Treats approached us with her first retail storefront on Mercer Island. After four years of building her business out of her home, Ann opened her Mercer Island Town Center doors in June, 2018. She is now able to sell directly to customers, in addition to supplying fellow merchants with her sweet treats.

Since then, Island Treats has expanded and is now offering a venue for Kid, Teen & ‘Lucy & Ethel Adult Parties’ in her chocolate shop. This holiday season, we celebrate Ann’s ‘locally made deliciousness’, and encourage everyone to swing by & support Island Treats (and other small business retailers).
