What would you call a store with a huge assortment of pop culture memorabilia? Why not the What? Shoppe? The store, on Tacoma's Antique Row, sells movie posters, model kits, paintings, Mexican folk art, wigs, masks, and makeup. Owner Philip Whitt says his wife came up with the name.
"People come in and ask what's the name of the shop and I say 'What' and they say 'What's the name of the shop?'. It becomes its own Abbot and Costello routine".
What? Shoppe Emporium of Ephemera | 740 Broadway, Tacoma, WA 98402 | (253)-272-8697
