Maxine and Beverly Bennett - Store Owners | Laura Thompsen - Store Manager | Sherry Ward - Marketing Manager and Webmaster |
Maxine and Scotty Bennett, mother and son, opened the first store on Sherry Lane in Dallas in 1973. Built into a true family endeavor, Scotty's now ex-wife Charlotte and Maxine's daughter Beverly later joined the business. With Charlotte's retirement several years ago and Scotty's death in 2018, Maxine and Beverly continue to run the business. Maxine (at an astounding 98 years old) and Beverly are present in the store every day providing our customers with the personal touch missing from most shopping experiences.
Our core team of four is rounded out with Laura Thompsen, store manager, and Sherry Ward, marketing manager and webmaster. They have been with the company for over 40 years combined and have essentially been adopted into the family. Laura started out as a customer before switching from a career in printing to working at Castle Gap and feeding her passion - Native American jewelry. Sherry, half Creek indian herself, worked a Summer while in college and returned after college to become an essential part of the Castle Gap family.
