Ali Haeri bought Riverbend Art N’ Frame in 1992 for three reasons: he loves art, he really wanted to be a picture framer and he wanted to have his own business; the future manager of the store, Lee, was studying at university and working part-time in the framing business when she met Ali and his wife through her mother.
“They were such lovely people that when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped on board,” Lee recalls. “It has been a happy working relationship ever since and if I am still working here when I am 80 years-old, it will be because Ali is such a great person.”
“It’s a family owned business and the customers see that in the way we interact with them,” Lee says. “I am personally very proud to be associated with Riverbend Art N’ Frame.”
