Julie's Has Gone Virtual as Store Remains Empty

Julie's Exquisite Gifts had been at its location since 1972.

From across the street you can almost imagine the store location at 845 Santa Cruz Ave. in Menlo Park, full of delightful items and customers.

The name remains, "Julie's," as a reminder when people would leave their homes and congregate on the streets to buy local.

Julie's still exists as a company, where gifts are available for purchase. It's an online entity now, using a P.O. Box in San Carlos.

Can anything fill the store in the same way Juilie's filled it?

What's next for the property?
