How has Brock School of Business and the Samford Startup program helped you launch your business?

Brock School of Business and Samford Startup have helped me grow my business through giving me a platform on campus for my company. Along with that, I have gained connections through professors and fellow students that have helped me grow and expand my business. Plus, the startup program has connected me to other students who own/or want to start a business.

Looking to the future, what do you envision for your business?

In the future, my goal is to have more stores and expand to other areas of the country that are lake and beach towns. Along with that my goal is to capture to each individual location, therefor making each store unique and not all alike.
