  Jordan Wine and Spirits

  May 2016 - Apr 2018

  Business Owner

  A boutique high-end shop in Parker Colorado featuring artisanal spirits, craft beer, and a carefully curated wine selection. The sale of wine, spirits, and beer was limited to state-approved locations and not sold in public stores. This made for a perfect retail opportunity for a captive audience with high-margin, high-turn products and consistent sales. As an experienced retail professional, I was able to maximize product selection, develop a strategic merchandising strategy, an experienced well-trained team. To swiftly grow a profitable business with YOY sales growth, margin improvement, and profit flow through. Ultimately selling the store, well-staffed and aligned for growth at a nice profit.
