I am so excited to share our guest speaker, Michelle Randle, who is a small business owner right in the heart of Hyde Park. Michelle has had careers at Saks, James Free Jewelers, and Stafford Jewelers, before going out on her own and launching her own retail store. She is a wife, and a mother to a very talented daughter Bella. Growing up in Fort Thomas,KY, with her twin brother, and older sisters, Michelle had her first experience at age 15 in the retail business at Gidding-Jenny where she fell in love with the high-end retail. It was then she realized her knack was working and communicating with customers, providing exceptional service and building a clientele that remains with her today! After a short period of time as a stay-at-home mom to her musically inclined daughter Bella, she went back to work. Her long line of retail jobs spurred her desire to create a retail business of her own which manifested as Jacob James, a luxury consignment store, which she now owns!
