Campbell Business Celebrates a Decade Downtown

Moonfyre Metaphysical is "the best kept secret in Campbell," says purchasing manager Daniel Vorheis.

 

Campbell resident Daniel Vorheis moved to the Orchard City 25 years ago and never left. In 2003, Rocky Arambula opened Moonfyre Metaphysical in the current Urban Girl location.

"We've been here ever since," Vorheis says.

The downtown Campbell business is celebrating its 10-year anniversary March 22 with cupcakes and a chance to chit chat with the staff.

"The whole atmosphere in Campbell ... you don’t get that in Los Gatos or Saratoga," he says. "I grew up in Watsonville and Campbell has that same hometown-kind of feeling. Campbell has been awesome to us and its been incredible."

The metaphysical shop has outlast several of its peers in the South Bay, Vorheis says.

"Between here and Santa Cruz, we've lost about 10 shops in the last seven years," he says. "Us and East West in Mountain View are the only ones left."

Part of the shop's secret to success is the variety of goods it carries as well as customer service, Vorheis says.

"We are here to help people, help them grow, help them heal," he says. "That’s our primary purpose."

The store, located at 401 E. Campbell Ave. will be open Friday, March 22 from 11-7 p.m. Readings are available.

"Stop on by and see what we’ve got," Vorheis says. "We’re kind of the best kept secret in Campbell."

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
