Hey! It is nice to meet you!

My name is Kathy Cruz! I’m a fellow retail business owner and Retail Coach.  My journey into retail started in 2013 when I launched a creative DIY blog with my sister.  We grew from a blog to a brick and mortar home decor store in 2 years.

During this time, I took my deep passion for learning all-things-retail and launched a second blog, Savvy Shopkeeper so I could help other retailers just like me.

The Savvy Shopkeeper blog has also taken a journey.  From a blog to a podcast and an online Academy just for retailers.

I’m on a mission to help independent retail business owners work less, profit more and grow! I’m glad you’re here and hope you find the information I share helpful.
