Thank you David Sedaris on Armchair Expert! - tortoise general store

Thank you David Sedaris on Armchair Expert!

Posted by Emma Tsuchida on

We couldn't believe our ears when we heard Tortoise mentioned on a recent episode of Armchair Expert with writer, David Sedaris (Episode: David Sedaris #4 - May 24th, Monday).  Tortoise is mentioned around 1 hr 29 minutes in!


We're a small business (almost 20 years old now!) and couldn't have made it this far without the word of mouth and support of long-time patrons.  Thank you David for being a supporter of Tortoise since our Abbot Kinney days.  People have told us they visit our store because you've spread the word when you're in LA and we're so honored!

Knowing our store is a special place to folks out there is very encouraging.  So thanks all, we'll keep doing our best!
