Ep. 72 Shopkeeper Stories with Miriam of Coco Jolie
After sharing four shopkeeper stories last year, I’m excited to highlight four more incredible shopkeepers from the Savvy Shopkeeper community.
First up is Miriam, owner of Coco Jolie in Engelwood, New Jersey. Miriam always loved creating in the kitchen but found herself in two other careers before going back to culinary school.
She shared the winding journey that led her to open Coco Jolie, her best advice for starting out at farmer’s markets, and how the Master Shopkeepers community rallied around her when things got tough.
