 New to the Buying Team: Lisa!

We've had the pleasure of introducing you to so many of our new buyers through this blog, and we're just getting started! Lisa Rowan is one of the newest additions to our Buying Team and we were so excited to share her interview with you! She is fun and bright and such a big part of our team. ❤ She came to us from her hometown of Zeeland, MI which is only 20min from Lake Michigan. She graduated from Hope College with a Business Management Major and a Political Science Minor. 🎓📚 She also used to work in our Holland Men's Store for 4.5 years!

Here at Home Office, Lisa is known as the Assistant Buyer for Women's Preppy Fashion, Girl's & Kids, & Crossover. She is the reason why we have such cute styles coming in from Simply Southern, Nature Backs, Ivory Ella, Poof, Hayden, and the list goes on from there! After having the in-store experience, she now loves getting to see the whole story of how a product gets from point a, to point b, to point c, and then eventually to a customer who will buy it. Her mom found a product that she bought on our website without knowing Lisa had been the one to acquire that item for our store! Such a cool story on how she’s been able to experience the full cycle of retail first hand. We are so happy to have her and we can't wait to see what amazing future buys she will make for our company.
