Thank you AGAIN to Jim Mulhall, our CSO (Chief Schmoozing Officer).  No-one works a room and spreads the word on Le Marché like Jim.  Jim also helped us tag and organize merchandise too.

 

Thank you to John Wees, our CBSO (Chief Bullshit Officer).  His title speaks for itself, but he did come up with a description of our store style that we think is pretty cool, "Paris on the Prairie," so we decided he deserved a title.  John, as a UPS manager by day,  also helped us import our purchases from the Paris International Home Show. 

 

Thank you to Steve Failla, our CAO (Chief Architectural Officer).  Steve, along with the help of his brother Dan Failla not only built out our space, from the previous tenant's dentist office, but also designed and installed our wood beam ceiling.  They installed our antique front door and even incorporated some antique door plates and knobs. Check out Steve's website www.outdoorlivingomaha.com. He does great work!

 

Thank you to Mike Gilbert, our CPO (Chief Power Officer).  Mike installed all of our lighting and numerous ceiling outlets.  He still helps us even though one of us accidentally electrocuted him. 

  

Thank you to Jeff Putnam, our CCO (Chief Counsel Officer).  Countryside would not be our reality without his legal mind.  Thanks to our friend Tom Becka for referring him! 

 

Thank you to Jacqueline Horani, our COO (Chief Organizational Officer), who is the ying to our yang.  If we are right brained, she is left.  Jacqueline, whose name is french by the way, is organizing us and whipping us into shape.  Now that we have her, we don't know what we ever did without her.

 

Thank you to Pam Hearron, our CIO (Chief Intuitive Officer).  Pam is energetic, super creative and one of those people you always want to be around.  She's inspiring and overflowing with positive energy, not to mention a bunch of wisdom and intuition.  Her ideas, guidance and advice for the store have been greatly beneficial.

Thank you to Jim Schimanski, our CMO (Chief Marketing Officer), though located in Decatur IL has helped us learn about the importance of marketing and martinis.  Jim is the best marketer we know, and also one good bingo player.  Check out some of his cool designs....

Thank you to Jan Hubbard, our second CMO (Chief Marketing Officer), for helping us with our opening signs and overall marketing support.
