Occasionally, JJ Hat Center is very busy. No surprise, mostly on Fridays and Saturdays.
In case you have to wait a moment, there are two club chairs near the entrance.
In addition, there is now a bench towards the back of the store, on the right.
It is a bit calmer there.
Of the traditional shopping days, Friday to Sunday, the Sunday seems a bit calmer now.
For extended consultations with our most knowledgeable, and experienced associates with undivided attention, we are working on a "make an appointment" system.
Thank you for your patronage and patience.
