Ali Haeri bought Riverbend Art N’ Frame in 1992 for three reasons: he loves art, he really wanted to be a picture framer and he wanted to have his own business; the future manager of the store, Lee, was studying at university and working part-time in the framing business when she met Ali and his wife through her mother.
“They were such lovely people that when the opportunity presented itself, I jumped on board,” Lee recalls. “It has been a happy working relationship ever since and if I am still working here when I am 80 years-old, it will be because Ali is such a great person.”
“It’s a family owned business and the customers see that in the way we interact with them,” Lee says. “I am personally very proud to be associated with Riverbend Art N’ Frame.”
Amazing quality of work and excellent customer service. They framed a signed Crosby jersey for me and it was perfect in every detail! I highly recommend Riverbend Art N Frame.
Very friendly staff, they were very helpful as it was my first time getting a print framed. They helped me with everything from choosing the right frame that would bring out the colours in the print, to what type of glass. I was not rushed, she spent a lot of time making sure I would be happy with whatever I decided.
Will never use again as the business in Riverbend damaged my picture (expensive) and did not take responsibility. Lied about it and damaged an expensive piece of art irreplaceable. What a terrible experience!!!
