Do you dream about using your creative design and entrepreneurial skills to open your own storefront? Do you fantasize about curating and merchandising a store but you’re worried you don’t have the skills or capital? This workshop will feature four people who have started and run their own brick and mortar shops over the past several years. They’ll share with you the essentials of getting started and staying in business, along with pitfalls to avoid. You’ll leave with the basic information to help you make a decision about whether you’re ready to open your own storefront or whether you’ve got more to do to realize your dream.

With Kelly Malone, David Knight, and Rena Tom
