Tad Long

Tad Long owns Archer Gift Co. and Artfully Framed, the businesses occupying the historic 416 Vine Street storefront in downtown Poplar Bluff. He created Archer Gift Co. in December 2020 to bring a distinctive retail experience to Poplar Bluff, combining locally made items with carefully selected brands and gifts. Its sister business, Artfully Framed, provides custom framing along with photo restoration and preservation services and maintains a gallery featuring the work of local and regional artists. The businesses also host painting, pottery and other creative classes and events in the historic building. Long does not own the 416 Vine Street building itself, which has housed livery, garage, mercantile and office-supply businesses since the nineteenth century.
