After running, owning, and operating several other successful business ventures, Lee McDonald stumbled across an old corner store that had been closed for years. Careful consideration and a feeling that a true need would be met in the community, Lee fixed the place up, and opened its doors. The response in those first few days, weeks, months, and currently years has been phenomenal, and the small Pleasant View community has embraced it with open arms.
Since then, Straw Market has been a shining example of the little, local corner store, offering everything from hand dipped Ice cream to a full service bakery. Everything is fresh, clean and in most cases made to order. Once Straw Market's store front took off, Lee has began to resurrect some of his expertise in florals, interior home design, and event catering to assist the community and to provide a efficient, well-rounded business. Future ventures are to come, and Lee is completely open to ideas and feedback. To have a look for yourself, just stop on by. You won't be disappointed!
