2 great articles about us! I can answer anything else outside of this! 🙂

I now wholesale across the US and outside of it. I have Frost Retail (storefront) , Frost Wholesale (Frost Tees line), and Frost Branding (designing and rebranding businesses)

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
We recently had a neighboring fire with the business next door this past July 2025 and we had to start completely over. We were very fortunate if wasnt worse. God is good….but that was a big challenge having to start over after building the business the past 3 years.

Also – I want to mention that I am the only business to have had 2 ribbon cuttings with our local chamber within 1 YEAR! now I will be having a 3rd ribbon cutting for our grand re-reopening November 6th. So, that makes 3 ribbon cuttings within 2 years.

We started across the street and then outgrew that space and moved to a larger location across the street downtown wapakoneta. (this made ribbon cutting 2 within the first year) then now the fire next door that we were affected by (common wall shared basement we were smoked out by the fire next door) so THIRD TIMES A CHARM – we will have our 3rd ribbon cutting! lol

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I have worked my way up the corporate ladder since graduating college. I am VERY passionate in my work and what I do. Now having my own business people see me for ME. They see everything I can do and offer. I havent ran 1 single ad and everything sent to me or people that message or walk in my door are are REFERRALS! I am proud of my work ethic, passion, grit, leadership, positivity, personality, authenticity, and originality. People will compliment the business right when they walk in the door. Within my first year I had 100s of reviews. (check on FB and google) Maybe pull some of the reviews! (they speak for themself) I love how people pick up on my “Frostisms” if you will lol. They say “Let’s get Frosted” or “Frost Dibs” on that! etc… (in reviews too) they love how INVITING and WELCOMING our space is as well as the people! We have built something great and I cant wait to grow it even more. I have big big dreams and I know if I keep pushing with my passion it will happen. People love my PINK brand and atmosphere as well. Pink bags are everywhere! People ask if I am a franchise with multiple locations because they love the space and how things are branded all over. We do go on the road now. We also have hat and charm bars in store as well. Please check out my socials and pull and read whatever you need!! I serve on multiple boards and I have students interning/co-oping with me to LEARN what I do. I always say “if you are passionate about something…pursue it! I wish I did sooner and I am still young! You should be learning every single day….that’s how you GROW!” lots more to say!

What has been the most important lesson you’ve learned along your journey?
i have this in the previous in quotes 🙂
