About us
Sisset’s is a locally owned and operated small business in the heart of Gainesville, FL offering a fun twist on home and patio! Let us tell you a little more about us!
Sisset’s is a sister store to the Famous Patio Designs that was located in Greenery Square. Patio Designs was open for 21 years before deciding to close its doors. After many years of our favorite customers begging us to come back, we have finally opened a sister store offering a similar setup with many of the same lines and merchandise. Sisset’s specializes in designer garden, home and patio accessories, fountains, birdbaths, indoor/outdoor rugs, patio furniture, mailbox covers and accessories, potted silk trees and flowers, statues, and much more home and patio decor. As many can remember, Patio Designs was known for Harley the Potbelly Pig, and the employees' love of animals. Sisset’s is continuing that love of animals by donating a percentage of its sales to local animal rescue groups! We will be spotlighting a new rescue group each month, so please come in and help us support our local animals.
Sisset’s is now brought to you by “The Girls”- Melissa Glikes, Cathy Leonard, and Ruth Moore. We are three women who started our friendship at Patio Designs nearly 15 years ago. As longtime friends and work associates we bring a combined 70 years of retail sales experience. After many years of friendship dinners, get togethers, and conversations about opening a new store, “The Girls” finally brought all our ideas together and decided to go for it! The store name, Sisset’s, came from our owner Melissa Glikes who is known by her family as Sisset; a fun nickname that was given to her by her niece who could not say Melissa when she was young. After that the name stuck! “The Girls” all add a unique and fun twist to home and patio decorating and would love for you to visit Sisset's today.
I would like to visit a few of the local businesses for "Shop Local Saturday" and I don't know any of them in the area. Please give me your suggestions...ready, set, GO! -Kathy Hess
