I really do love that people can come here and say I feel seen... and you just realize that you're doing something more than what you think. You're not just selling something.

When we see our people come in the door and just get hyped up for our products, that's rewarding. For me, it's like striking gold... seeing people's eyes just light up and then connect with it.

I just think that this is the best leap of faith that I've ever taken, and if I had to do all over again, I would a hundred times over.

In retail, I love the idea that every day is a challenge. Everything's new. One thing is really hot one week and another trend happens another week, and you have to kind of chase these evolving retail environments. To me, that's fun.

What I really like about retail is that each day is a unique day. You have no idea what's going to happen. The possibilities are endless.

Retail is so different because children walk in your store, and older adults walk in your store. You get such a variety of people to be able to speak to, laugh with, and have fun with. It just makes your day. It's a very nice realm to be in.

Retail, I do think, can be a career that you actively want to pursue, and I don't think it is this secondhand, less valuable work in any capacity. It's honestly, I think, more valuable than a lot of corporate jobs available.

I think the coolest part about being a retailer is that we are able to play into the things that are actively happening in the world and adjust our stock, adjust our mindsets, adjust our messaging and merchandising accordingly.

Retail taught me that the hard work we put into building a supportive, family-like team environment comes back tenfold in the culture and energy of the store.

We've seen the neighborhood around us blossom. Being part of that transformation and knowing we’ve contributed to it is incredibly rewarding.

I think retail is a blank canvas. That's why I love retail... it is an experience that someone crafted.
