I am an entrepreneur who runs a thrift store where we sell clothing by weight and is excited to have some real conversations! My background is in eCommerce & Liquidations, and I am currently concentrating my efforts more on the fashion & retail sector, so it would be terrific to meet anyone who is in it.
