~ Get To Know Us ~
Terry Dobbins
Recently, a woman asked me why I got into this business. It brought back memories of my college days, working part time for a mall department store. Somehow, this experience must have had a profound effect on me…I’ve been working, teaching, and learning this business for nearly 50 years now! Probably because, most of the time, it doesn’t feel like work—I truly enjoy being with people. It’s always a special moment when I see a smile on the face of our customers who have come to shop & spend time with us.
As you read a little bit about our staff, I hope you get a feel for the friendships we have here together. Some of our staff have been here over 19 years, some as short as a few months. (We have one special lady who was with us for 25 years until she retired not to long ago...Beverly)! The experienced ones, the ones with fresh, young faces and those in between…they are all here to assist you with your shopping needs.
Dean and I want to thank you for visiting us.
We hope to see you very soon, here at t.s.Dobbins!

Joan Bainbridge
Retail selling has been a love of mine since the late 1990's. I am a life-long resident of this town. I love to visit anywhere but will always call York my home!
I have been married 50+ years to my high school sweetheart. We have three wonderful sons & three amazing granddaughters!!
My interaction with customers is something I truly enjoy...helping our patrons find that perfect outfit for that perfect occasion. Some are simply looking for that spontaneous new treasure!
Debbie Williams
I have to say, I have known Debbie for
many years. We have worked together coordinating Fashion Shows since we opened in 1990. Debbie's expertise is in the Footwear business. Does the Shoe Gallery ring a bell? As an Art Student in college, it was easy for Debbie to fall into fashion immediately. After retiring a few years ago, Debbie thought she might enjoy the quiet of not having that daily go-to job. But no, she can't stay away, she joined us in 2020...and is now entertaining our customers with her quick wit & unforgettable laughter!
Paula Edris
We have known Paula for many
years now... she's been a customer of ours since 2004. Paula recently retired from her full-time career & has a long history of the challenge of showing Rhodesian Ridgebacks.
Being the newest member of the t.s.Dobbins team, Paula enjoys giving the service & personal attention she always received as a customer. Now she finds showing our customers the latest arrivals of apparel & accessories quite enjoyable.
She confesses that coordinating the
"Pop-ups" & our "Live at 5's" very engaging!
Dean Dobbins
It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I met my husband...but we have known each other for nearly 47 years & will celebrate 45 years of "wedded bliss"
this coming September!
In spite of those facts...we work together everyday! Dean joined us over 13 years ago, taking control of the business side of t.s.Dobbins. He has taken many of the responsibilities of running our business under his wing, allowing me more time to enjoy our customers, complete the buying,
merchandising & marketing of the shop.
In our spare time, we both love to play golf & try to
enjoy the game no matter what the scores total!
Iggy & Cooper!
We would be remiss not to introduce you to our family.
We said "so-long" to our wonderful Norman in December of 2020. After 14 glorious years with Norman, we held onto his memory until April of 2022.
Without much notice, we were introduced to a Rescue Dog from Alabama...soon to be named Cooper!
We fell in love! Cooper is a mixed Black Labrador & Greyhound...so-o sweet!! Wait til you meet Cooper!
Of course, we adopted Iggy in 2014, a purebred born
at the York County SPCA.
She is still "young" at 9 years, and loves all the attention she can get! Iggy thrives on our customers
and is ready for any "kid" or "kid at heart" to love her!!
In Loving Memory
Norman
