Meet Your Hostess!

Kathy Cruz

Retail Business Coach AND Retail Store Owner

Kathy Cruz is a Retail Business Coach AND a fellow store owner, yes she owns a retail business too! A brick and mortar store that she co-owns with her sister in Lakewood, Ohio.

Kathy’s struggle to find content, a resource or a podcast just for Indie Retailers led her to start the Savvy Shopkeeper blog in 2016. Now Kathy hosts the Savvy Shopkeeper Retail Podcast and leads a group membership where she helps retail business owners work less, profit more and grow!

Kathy’s vision for this 2-day virtual conference is the result of years of listening to shopkeepers and what they’ve been looking for. At this virtual conference, Kathy will lead and teach business sessions that will help lay a solid foundation to help your business grow.

You’ll also have time to connect with other store owners and Kathy will sprinkle this 2-day event with fun activities and door prizes!

Smiling with all the memories and new thoughts running through my brain! It’s going to take me a few days to process all the thought gems. ❤️ I loved every minute!
