Engage

12/6/24

5 years since I last posted a blog?!?!?!?! Not sure how that even happens. But I am back, I opened First & ForMost in Railside Grand Island, NE. Brick and Mortar is where it’s at. I love the engagement, I love to see people inside my store, I love to be able to answer questions, I love that people can try my clothing on… I love it all. I have worked over 12+ years in the retail game. It’s made me build thick skin, better interpersonal skills/communication and great way to measure a stores strengths and weaknesses. What is your most favorite part about going into a retail store? The best is yet to come all! My goal for F+F is to bring at least 3 more brands into my location for more variety for customers as well as more kicks because everyone loves kicks!

This picture says it all! a couple looking at merchandise, someone else charging their phone, its all love! You will have to visit my instagram @first_n_formost as I will be doing a series on retail nightmares! I have seen it all. Remember a few things as we end the year …

1) be humble

2) its never to late to act on your dreams

3) give love during this time of year

4) always build your friends, classmates, coworkers, teammates up.

5) a like, comment, share costs you ZERO dollars so when your friend asks for it, do it!
