- Employees mostly look like they stepped out of British alternative fashion magazines—except for Sam.
History / Background[]
The store gets its name from John Butler. John is short and round-bellied man and not a real gypsy since he has no Romany blood. The business began out of the back of a hand-drawn cart that gypsied its way around the city for years, always keeping just ahead of the municipal licensing board’s agents.
