"Al the owner is always welcoming and has a sense of humor that is engaging. He’s also open about why he doesn’t carry certain currently popular products which is refreshing. Additionally he goes above and beyond to offer customer service that is focused on you the customer first. Always a good experience stopping into Unan Imports to see what is new, pick up some shea butter or scents with the added plus of conversations with Al. Highly recommended as a place to shop"
