Jim Taylor, Store Manager & Mr. Fix-it If it’s early in the morning and you venture toward the back paint counter, you’ll likely find Jim reviewing orders, managing stock or preparing for a site visit. Envy’s store manager is also our de facto specialist for a wide range of home repairs and maintenance, including lighting, plumbing, installation and demolition work.
