Embracing Fun to Build Community in Retail (After the Show)

Rooted in Retail

Welcome back to After the Show where we’re diving into the impact of adding more fun in your business. In our latest episode, I had a great conversation with Aimee Pelletier and Carly Stipe from Darn Knit Anyway, a store that’s redefining community connection and fun in retail.

Aimee and Carly have really brought a playful energy to their store, and you can see the results everywhere. From Instagram reels that are getting millions of views to building real connections with customers right there in the store, Darn Knit Anyway is proof that having fun can make a real difference.

So, join me as I dig into what it means to inject fun into your business. This episode is a reminder that while running a business can be hard at times, embracing laughter, creativity, and community can lead to success!
