7 STEPS TO HEAVEN

THE RAIN FALLS HARD

And lastly a little sneak peak into what's happening at Mr.Lee's over the next couple weeks. Store makeover? Yes Sir! Stay tuned cause big things are happening over here.

MUST BE THE SEASON OF THE WITCH

We got the new Monocle today, and a healthy restocking of Witch Hazel.

NORSE PROJECTS

Mr.Lee's General Store is proud to announce Norse Projects from Denmark. Look for it to drop at the end of the month. Make sure to get here quick, cause it wont last, and we're the only stockist in Canada.
