Annie Glenn (AKA Urban Girl Annie) started her company, LG Retail Enterprises, back in 1994 and she’s been doing retail ever since. Although she majored in literature in college, Annie’s known she wanted to own her own business from the age of 10.

With no prior background in retail, she credits her business success to having great instincts and a lack of fear. Today, she’s a proud entrepreneur and a mom to two amazing boys, Jack and Cooper. Her hope is that her stores, including Urban Girl Accessories, bring joy and happiness to whoever walks through the doors.

Here, Annie talks about what it’s like to own and operate 10 different retail stores and the new projects she’s working on. Annie discusses how she works with different merchants and how she copes with stress through her unique way of recharging: lizarding! Annie also shares how she found a silver lining during COVID, the different concepts in her stores, how she keeps staff motivated, and her philosophy on merchandising.
