My friend, Kim Daughtery mentioned she might be coming to Louisville. Now Kim likes to shop so I wasn't surprised when she asked, "If I wanted to buy a unique gift representing Louisville where would I go?" Without hesitation, I answered, "Two Chicks & Co." This is far and away my wife's favorite store for all things Kentucky, Louisville, Derby, etc.
I've seen bag after Pink and Green bag come through the door to our house, but I had never actually been in Two Chicks until a few days ago. (For one, I do not like to shop and two, it always kinda seemed like a chick place:). Since I gave this recommendation to Kim, I decided I better go and check it out. Plus, with an upcoming anniversary, I could kill 2 birds with one stone. Surely they would have something we didn't already own.
When I went into the store, I could easily see why my wife was such a fan. She loves all things Fleur de lis and Two Chicks has a lot of Fleur de lis things. From bottle openers to barware to platters to throw pillows, they had quite a lot to choose from. I spent several minutes browsing before finding a few things to add to her collection. The staff (particularly Barabara) was very helpful and I even got a recommendation or two from another customer.
Rather than trying to explain, the multitude of unique gifts that Two Chicks & Co, offers, I'll share a few pictures....
Despite the fact, it was closing time on Saturday, there were probably 10 other people in the store with me. The ladies behind the counter never told anyone it was time to go,etc. Instead they stepped out to offer assistance, made recommendations, wrappped gifts, and wished everyone a good day.
Perhaps the best part, was they wrapped everything and placed it in a gift bag. (I'm a huge fan of anyplace that simplifies my life). So, my only remaining challenge was getting the pink and green bag into the house and stored for a few days.

Erik, I love these quaint little stores where you see things you just won't find in other places. I could probably be found wandering around one of these little shops (and I'm not a shopper either :)
Erik this sounds like a store most women would love, and from the photos it does look like there are many unique items.
Ha ! Great name and well designed by the look of it !! Nice report Erik !
That looks like a very fun place to shop. Is Kim going to bring a boat with her?
Carole - Despite my accusations of my wife buying stuff for herself in here, she generally purchases gifts. The receipiants are usually thrilled at getting something truly unique. As you mentioned, stores like this are hard to come by.
Jennifer - The photos probably cover less than 1/3rd of the store.
Sheldon - Thanks. Their name choice is definitely easy to remember.
Cheryl - I don't know about a boat, but a U-Haul might be in order.
Loved the name for their store - nice review too Eric. What a great place to shop!
What a cute name but I sure would hate to do inventory in that store.

Erik See what blogging has done for you - it got you into the store :) Karen
Lee/Pamela - Even I didn't have a problem finding something to purchase.
Shelton - LOL. They've been around for a few years now, so I'm sure they have a system. But you are certainly right in that it would appear to be an intimidating process.
Karen - I'm assuming you believe this is a good thing because more people in my family need to spend money here :). Actually, I think my wife will be fairly impressed. And, that's never a bad thing.
