Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Strand.
Hi Nicole, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I was a nail tech for 10 years and my dad was a real estate agent and a bridal prom and party store was for sale in our town. He thought that I would be great at it so he said he would put up the money if I would run it. I told him I would if we can remodel and create something that better represented me.
We were able to create the inside to look more like I wanted, and I started searching for a better location as I built and rebranded my store. I have owned it for 18 years now and 5 years ago we were able to move to a better location, which I absolutely love the big windows and great displays. And spacious dressing rooms I enjoy creating a bridal experience that when bride leaves she feels amazing and beautiful and uplifted. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity that I’m given daily. …
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
