We ♥ Locals.

Sure, we love Salem during Halloween season. All the excitement, events, and new people ... but we also really love our locals.

And to prove it, we're giving Salem locals 15% off their total purchase* throughout the month of October. So don't let the crowds keep you from downtown... we would miss you!
