Mount Carmel CEO dropped by 15 West in Albion for a visit with owner Michelle Ward this past week. Michelle has a background in business education, having been a high school business teacher before deciding to move back to her hometown to open this boutique. She and her husband bought the building in 2019, remodeled it and opened the following year. Though she's always had an entrepreneurial spirit, acting on that and starting her own business was a bit outside of her comfort zone. She shared a few of the lessons she learned along that journey so far, such as "dream big, start small," and "make it easy to do business with you." Thanks so much to Michelle for taking time to host us! If you have not yet been into 15 West in Albion, stop by and see what they have to offer! You are bound to be impressed!
