Our Office

Our office is located in a storefront belonging to a pair of buildings with a unique history. The buildings are located at 204-206 East Girard Avenue on a main commercial corridor in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia.

Several years prior to YIKES moving in on August 1, 2011, the buildings stood vacant, blighted and deteriorating. In July of 2010, YIKES owners, Tracy Levesque and Mia Levesque, purchased the buildings and in the following year they underwent a complete green renovation. A goal was set of bringing the buildings to LEED Platinum status, the highest level of certification of this green building certification system.

YIKES is excited to be a part of the revitalization of the Girard Avenue commercial corridor in Fishtown. Since its inception in 1996, YIKES has been dedicated to sustainable and green business practices. The opportunity to build and occupy a LEED certified office is a dream come true for us.

I have consistently found Tracy to be approachable, professional & quite creative as we worked together on this exciting project. Questions were promptly answered, problems were quickly addressed & solved, and the end result is one we are quite proud of.

YIKES created a blog that mirrored my brand and tutored me in working with WordPress. They've been an ongoing source of instruction and support, quickly and effectively helping me enhance my blog's functionality and troubleshooting problems I've experienced. And beyond all of this, they're great people.

Best of all, they listen to what I ask for and they communicate with me about what they are doing without a lot of technical jargon that would't mean much to me. I am extremely satisfied with every site they've done for me and they will continue to be my first choice.

With YIKES’s recommendation, we are now using WordPress. It is a very user-friendly and straightforward CMS – we have used Drupal in the past and have not looked back since the change. YIKES Rocks!!!

Working with YIKES to develop our new website has been an absolute pleasure. The process has been seamless from start to finish and we are thoroughly pleased with the result. YIKES staff, specifically Tracy, really listened to our wants and needs and designed a product which has exceeded our expectations.
