How much? More than [Roman emperors and magistrates](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purple)? Enough to found a purple business and keep it open for a decade? Adam Sheridan is the owner of [The Purple Store](http://www.thepurplestore.com/) in Seattle; it’s a sort of general store where every item is, well, purple. “People who like purple really like purple and in a perfect world, something fun like The Purple Store should exist,” he [told MyNorthwest](http://mynorthwest.com/11/2532534/Nothing-but-purple-at-Seattles-The-Purple-Store-), which also reported that Sheridan isn’t necessarily the color’s biggest fan. If you love purple but don’t want to make a pilgrimage to Seattle, don’t fret: Like any savvy business owner, you can find Sheridan’s store [online](http://www.thepurplestore.com/). (The website is, of course, purple.) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2805686/purple-store/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2805686/purple-store/"},"headline":"Everything's Purple at The Purple Store","datePublished":"2014-06-01T22:00:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:10:13.793Z","description":"No, they don't sell anything in yellow.
