Located in Ottawa's East end, Snazzy Seconds is Ottawa's most successful Home Decor and Small Furniture consignment store; in businesses since 1994 and still going strong, thanks to you, our consignors!
Meet Laura, owner of this busy little shop in Orleans:
Laura Chaulk,
Owner of Snazzy Seconds.
“I’ve always loved Consignment shopping" says Laura Chaulk, owner of Snazzy Seconds. "Growing up in Orleans, being a part of the community and seeing all the changes over the last 25 years, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of supporting small businesses in the area”. Laura is only the 3rd person to own this shop, despite the store having been in business almost 30 years. "It really says something about the store, and how much each owner cares about our customers and consignors, for the continued success of a business", she says.
Laura bought the store in March, 2011. "I've always wanted to own a business", admits Laura, "I just didn't know when that would be. When I found out that the previous owner was thinking of retiring, I jumped at the chance to buy the business” says Laura. “I’d been a consignor and shopper there for many years”, she continues, “owning Snazzy Seconds was a dream come true”!
Although many new business owners make major changes early on, Laura had only a few plans to make the store even better than it already was. “It was tempting to come in and make sweeping changes, but I didn't see the need. I love my staff and the store looks great”. Laura did put her own touch on a few things. “Of course I wanted to inject my own personal style to the store" laughs Laura, "and I couldn't do it without the support of my husband". Although you may not always see her at the store, she is there many days a week after hours in order to ensure Snazzy maintains high quality items at great prices. "I continually strive to make our customers and consignors happy. I'm delighted to get to know all our customers”, she says with pride.
