Bulbs Deep is Botanical with an edge!!  Jim Craver and Gina Crowley walked me through they, along with their friend Brian evolved their friendship to a business partnership designed to help customers adopt plants!  Bulbs Deep is located online only for the moment, but will open their brand new store front (hopefully) some time in late October or November in downtown Batavia Ohio.  We know you'll love hearing their story and what they have planned as much as we did.  Be sure to check them out on their website and social media channels and of course, come visit them when they open!

Lizz Schmitz is the owner of Queen City Tan, located in the heart of Batavia Ohio right on Main Street.  Queen City Tan specializes in providing customers with the highest quality spray tans and also offers teeth whitening as well.  Lizz is an expert in her field with over 40 certifications and over 10,000 spray tans under her belt.  She is also absolutely hilarious, friendly, super smart and very successful.  Queen City Tan has grown leaps and bounds since she started it 4 years ago and her work can be seen everywhere from Reality TV, to the Bengals sidelines, to your neighbor (probably).  Big thanks to Lizz for being a guest and bailing me out last minute!

Shayna Naegle is the owner and operator of Sno Shack 513 located in Batavia Ohio.  Shayna is a former stay at home mom that had dreams of owning her own business and after lots of planning and research, the Batavia Sno Shack was born!  It was really exciting and fun to have Shayna on, especially since she's new to the small business game, having only opened this business two weeks prior to recording the podcast with me.  Shayna is supported by her family, friends and community and is super smart, fun and loves serving fun summer treats to people of all ages.  Check her out on Facebook to get an idea of what new flavors and toppings you want when you come visit her at her location!
