PhilosophyBurnie's Rock Shop believes in the value of buying local. As a family-owned business in Madison for over forty years, we owe our existence to the support of our loyal, local clientele. In turn, our employees help support the restaurants, coffee shops, garages, and groceries in the community. This keeps much of the money at home, supporting a diverse and vibrant local economy. In addition, our sense of civic responsibility drives us to support many school, neighborhood and community service organizations through donations. |

HistoryEstablished in 1962 by Burnie Franke, the first shop was located on Monroe Street. In the late 1970's, the shop moved to the present location on the east side at 901 E. Johnson Street. A beloved Madison fixture, Burnie's Rock Shop has been owned for several years by Burnie's son, Nevin. Burnie is retired, but still comes in several afternoons a week to help out on the sales floor, cut and polish stones, and work on special orders. |
