37 Oaks

🏪 Does opening a storefront excite you—or secretly scare you?

In this episode, we talk about what it really looks like to expand into a storefront. We’ll explore the benefits, challenges, and key questions to ask yourself so you can decide if a storefront is the right next move for your business.

The 37 Oaks University's Bob and Weave series is designed to help entrepreneurs dodge the punches that business ownership can throw. We host a 30-minute, real-talk discussion with industry experts and experienced entrepreneurs on key retail, commerce, or distribution topics you want to hear about.
