Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since September 1994
What is your primary product or service?
Giftware, Fashion accessories and greeting cards
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Worked in retail in all positions from inventorying, clerking, marketing and placing orders from Jr High through college. I earned my degree in business accounting/marketing and earned my CPA, but kept my passion for retail. My wife shared that passion, so we opened this store in 1994 as an extension of what we were doing at Four Star Drug.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We have worked very hard to create a "Destination store"
In terms of selection- we used our buying experience and connections along with the size of the store to offer an incredible selection including premier brands.
In terms of service- we work very hard in choosing and training our staff and creating an atmosphere of high-level service in a fun, friendly, no-pressure environment. All of our staff share in working some evening and weekend hours so you get good service at all times.
In terms of value- Four Star prides itself on selling good quality, premier brands at an excellent value. Combined with our drug stores and our large buying group we have excellent buying power and offer great everyday low prices, frequent specials, and the Four Star REWARDS Program rewards customers with every purchase by awarding points that convert into gift certificates mailed out regularly.
In terms of fun, Four Star has a history of exciting events like our VIP nights, special artist events, trunk shows, Fashion Friend-zy, pictures with Santa and Live Reindeer. These events often include refreshments from top local restaurants, specials and always..great fun.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
There is only one Four Star Card and Gift Gallery, but we also own and operate 3 Four Star Drug locations, including the newly remodeled Four Star Drug in Piedmont.
