Meet Laura's Loft; another Ohio Start-Up

Periodically, I have highlighted start-up businesses that I've encountered; particularly those in Ohio. My business and passion evolves around small business; particularly those in their start-up phases (1-3 years). I decided to concentrate on start-ups in my business particularly because I love seeing the pieces of the puzzle come together for a start-up business owner--I am a detail-oriented startupnatic who loves helping to piece together details to create a finished product (by the way as a kid, I loved puzzles). So, I occasionally visit start-up businesses in and around my area.

Meet, Laura's Loft, the start-up I visited in February. A Pickerington Ohio retailer, Laura's Loft sells designer apparel at reasonable prices. Founded by Laura, the loft-styled store is a spin-off from her MyBargains2U Ebay store. She started selling on eBay 4 years ago from her home and then launched Laura's Loft in April of 2008 (click here to visit the website).

I had a chance to visit her store during a Girls Night Out event she hosted in February. I was awed by the designer coats, shoes, and shirts for $30 and less! My friend and I were able to shop for less, get amazing clothes, catch up on girl stuff, nibble on some amazing appetizers, (she had some sweet bread and dip that was so delicious) and tour the store.

Laura's Loft is located in Old Pickerington, just off Hill Road and Church Street and they're open on the weekends. Any business that is less than a year old, definitely needs your support. And at StartupbizTalk, we are all about supporting start-ups. So please stop by and say hello; most likely Laura will be at the counter to greet you. Tell her I sent you.
