OUR HISTORY

Rebecca Wood is the founder of ENJOY, AN URBAN GENERAL STORE. Raised in a retail family, as soon as she could walk Rebecca worked in her grandmother's jewelry store. Rebecca's parents, Karen and Tom Wood, opened their first store, Periwinkles, on Cape Cod over thirty years ago. From elementary school through college, Rebecca worked in her parents' gift stores, learning every aspect of the business. Rebecca worked as a manufacturer's representative, selling to independent gift stores throughout Southeast Massachusetts, Cape Cod, and Rhode Island, before relocating to Chicago and opening ENJOY in 2005.

Our concept is an Urban General Store™—a store where shoppers can find gifts for many different people with enough variety that the customer may also purchase an item or two for themselves. Just like the bygone "general store," our merchandise is displayed in simple, linear sections with wood shelves and galvanized steel bins. The colorful variety of items is the focus. We offer a rotating selection of over 10,000 items.
