It’s Women of Influence Day here on myFM brought to you by NAMCOR Custom Laser Services. Brenda Vanmarle is the owner of Antique Allie in Mount Brydges. She moved here from Calgary, where she had her first store for 18 years, but never planned on opening up a store here.
She said that one challenge of hers is that she is considered self employed, which does effect some things outside of the business.
She says her advice to women who want to open their own business, is to not give up, even when its hard.
As for what she is most proud of, Brenda says that is how far she’s come since she started this in a little booth in an antique mall.
Here is the complete interview with Brenda Vanmarle.
