Creative Shop Talk with Wendy Batten

18. What’s Possible: The Accidental Shopkeeper with a Thriving Store (A Retailer Case Study)


Listen Later

In today’s very special What’s Possible episode, I am chatting with retailer Jeff Lee. He is the owner of The Vintage Nest Home & Gifts in the historic downtown of Mount Holly, North Carolina outside of Charlotte. 

Jeff shares the story of how he grew his retail business from an antique mall booth to a 10,000 square foot and addresses several of the bumps and learning lessons along the way. He’s the quintessential “accidental shopkeeper” who was a hobbyist turned store owner. I know you will relate to him and his business journey.
