Glover has partnered with faculty & students from Howard Community College and SCD Information Technology, Inc. to set up e-commerce sites for 10 merchants so that they can be open for business on the internet 24/7. A dozen more merchants are in the queue to have sites developed for their businesses. Tammy Beideman has also taken advantage of Glover’s service. He helped her get her ladies clothing business, Sweet Elizabeth Jane, up and running in time for the holi- days. Beideman, too, had lost everything in the flood and was starting from scratch. “I knew that I needed to change the way I ran my business,” states Beideman. “Garrett has been our lifeline. Our team has made huge strides with Gar- rett advising and teaching us about business management. We now have written processes for our operations. We have implemented a new training program and we are beginning to fill the store with merchandise we know will sell.” Jason Barnes cutting ribbon with laser with Co. Exec. Kittleman.
