Tell us about your store. What inspired you to create it?
I spent 35 yrs in the Hospitality Field and always dreamed of opening a lovely Gift and Home Accessory Store. Roosters Nest was created by my Late Husband Bill Shoemaker and I, 18 yrs ago when French Country was still “In” . Our Logo depicts a Big, Happy Rooster sitting in an overstuffed chair looking cozy and comfortable which is the feeling we wanted our Customers to have when they walked in to shop.
Talk to us about your product curation. How do you decide which brands to offer?
Well I can tell you over 18 yrs. I have tried a lot of different brands and styles and some have been keepers and some were probably what is called a “Bad Buy!” They of course went into the next sale!
What is your favorite or “must-have” LAFCO product and why?
I have stayed true to the 2 product lines – The 15.5 oz candle and 15.5 oz reed diffusers.
What advice or ideas would you like to share with other independent businesses?
If you try something and it doesn’t work, let it go.
