Owner
Wonko's Toys and GamesOwner
Jan. 2005 - Apr. 2009Wonko's Toys and Games is a collectible toy and board game store in Austin, Texas. I opened the business, grew the customer base, and sold it four years later. The opening of a retail store is the ultimate exercise in project management. Before the store even opened, I created a detailed business plan, researched and obtained wholesale partners, determined the best location, designed and acquired the fixtures, and set everything up in a way that delighted customers. As the owner of Wonko's Toys and Games I oversaw every aspect of this unique retail entity. From the everyday retail tasks of employee management, inventory selection, promotion, and sales, and computer technical support to writing, directing, and media buying of television commercials and many other responsibilities related to retail. I led this company into a specialist retail niche that was successfully enjoyed for the last three years and then sold it to an enthusiastic customer.
