Hazel General Store

Ownership

Tammy Schreiter opened Hatch Art House in 2010 and Hazel General Store in 2015, and she operates both stores as an independent owner with no indication of corporate backing or franchising.

Local Sourcing

The store showcases only USA makers and supporting 100+ artisans from across the U.S.A, but there is no evidence of Wisconsin or regional-focused sourcing despite being a gift/general store rather than a restaurant with food sourcing.

Community Involvement

The owner states "I wanted Hazel to work with the neighborhood and what's already here" and "it's all about enhancing [the area]", indicating neighborhood focus, though specific sponsorships or nonprofit partnerships are not documented in available sources.

Local Workforce

The store's staff are known for their friendly and knowledgeable assistance and customer reviews consistently praise service quality, though specific wage information or long-tenure data is unavailable.

Revenue Retention

As an independent owner-operated business without external investors or corporate parent, most revenue likely stays local, though exact financial details and profit distribution are not publicly available.

Local Presence

The site includes strong local signals (Madison/WI address, local phone number, physical storefront invitation) but uses generic e-commerce template language and Shopify boilerplate without personality-driven copy, owner names, or local supplier references. The footer 'Grid Theme by Pixel Union. Powered by Shopify' indicates a cookie-cutter template approach.
