What has been your greatest challenge as a business owner/operator and how did you overcome it?

It’s always a challenge adapting to an ever changing landscape. People are looking to source products and content much differently than 5 years ago. Retail is shrinking while e-commerce and Amazon are replacing. Social media has a huge influence over the way people shop and make decisions.
What do you hope your buyers achieve within your product/service? We’re always striving to bring new innovative products and services to our customers. We pride ourselves in being leaders in the industry for recognizing trends and needs from our customer base.
