"Small town retail has its pros and cons," Ms. Mitchell said. "There is a perception of wealth, which may in fact just be evidence of a large bank loan." Ms. Mitchell said that early in the life of her business she had to battle business stereotypes. "There was a percep- tion when | went on buy- ing trips or negotiated that my husband must have the final say," Ms. Mitchell said. "Since then, I have seen a huge growth in the number of and the skill of women in the retail business." Ms. Mitchell said that while 'big-box' stores are probably the biggest threat to small business, good business plans and skill win out in the end. "If you ask would I do this again," Ms. Mitchell said of her award winning business, "you bet 1 would. I have had a great time."
