Episode 13: Interviews from the Road

In our Stories from the Road series, I talked about exploring towns and learning from retailers about what makes their stores or communities unique.  We have had the opportunity to connect with many retailers while on the road for the past several months, and I want to share some of those conversations with you. In the episode, you will hear an update from Lacy Hankins and Amanda Rutherford, the owners of the Green Apple in Rolling Fork, MS. We first met them soon after a tornado leveled their store, and we discuss what has happened since. You will also hear from Mark Coulter, owner of Christopher's Gifts and Mark Anthony's Gifts and Spa in Kirkwood, MO, about the changes he has instituted in the wake of the pandemic. Finally, we spoke to Lisa Miller, owner of Forever Clean Soap Works in St Joseph, MI, about how she started her business and how her business model goes against the fray but has allowed her to succeed.
