Laurel Business The Crystal Fox Needs Your Support

The new coronavirus has changed life for all of us. Local businesses have taken a huge economic hit, but communities are finding creative ways to support the establishments they know and love.

In an effort to help local businesses in our communities stay connected and succeed, Patch will shine a light on some of them through a series of Q&A articles during this time.

The Crystal Fox is one of the businesses in town facing struggles during the coronavirus. You can lend your support by reading more about the company, below, and by contacting them here.

Tell us about your business and its history in your town.

We've been selling crystals and incense in Laurel since 1991.

How has the new coronavirus impacted your business and its employees?

We have limited staff and are closed to the public. We are accepting phone and web orders only.

How can local customers support you now and in the future?

Call us at 301-317-1980 — we ship! We also deliver within a three-mile radius.

Do you have any words of encouragement for your community?

Stay positive! Think good thoughts. Wash and disinfect anything that comes into your "safe space." We have a small amount of hand sanitizer for sale.

Are you offering any special services, promotions or hours during this time?

Watch for Facebook live sales events. We are offering 50 percent off select merchandise.

Are there any other outstanding businesses in town you think deserve some community support?

Donate what you can. Take what you need. There is a small donation tub right outside our physical shop. Water, food, toilet paper and paper towels have been very popular. You can see pics on Facebook and Instagram.
