Owner -- Donna Sherman
After discovering a mutual love of jigsaw puzzles, Donna and her friend Holly opened Puzzle Palooza Etc., Inc in February 2013 in Historic Occoquan. Over the next few years the business grew and required more space prompting 2 moves within the town, but always on Mill Street. On October 1, 2019 Donna took over as full owner. She is excited to be able to continue to share her love of puzzles with her customers.
With 1,000's of puzzles from over 40 different companies it would be hard NOT to find a puzzle you love at Puzzle Palooza Etc. Our large childrens section features Melissa and Doug, Ravensburger, and other popular brands. We offer puzzles with piece counts from 3 to 50,000 pieces!
Our staff is here to answer your questions about our puzzles, and help with the selection process.
