We chose Empire theme for its good looks and plentiful features. It's easy to use and it has plenty of settings to customise your store and make it look great. We needed Support for a couple of minor layout adjustments. They were very helpful (and patient with us, we are new to Shopify) and had the fixes for us within a few hours. We are very pleased with Empire theme!

I've been using this theme for over 3 years, and over the last month, some serious issues have occurred. Let's see if support can resolve them.
