Specialty retailer Oak Patch
Gifts plans to add 30 employees to its staff of 320 by
December, which will also be the end of its first year in a
larger location. Oak Patch products such as the Jody Coyote
jewelry line are sold in about 10,000-plus department stores
and gift stores such as Hallmark, says Oak Patch CEO Chris
Cunning. Jody Coyote,
which began about 30 years ago as a vendor in Eugene’s
Saturday Market, is a mainstay of the company, featuring
fashionable jewelry from textured metals.
