History
Established in 2007.
As Poco Creations & Beads, The store was purchased in 2014, by a long time patron and employee. Now totally renovated inside and out, and the name has been updated to PoCo Inspired. It has been reborn, revamped, and refocused. It has more than tripled the amount of usable retail space and amount of stock on the walls. It has gone back to its core of supplying beads and stones, while expanding all of its other supply lines. Teaching AND learning have become one of the most important aspects of the operation. Classes are held most nights of the week.
Meet the Business Owner: Cindy B.
Cindy is that friend, the one that when you see their studio, you go..
WOW ! You have enough stuff here to open your own store..
Always a creative - "crafts" person. An independent spirit.
A little bit of a gypsy soul.
A little bit country, a little bit rock & roll.
After many years at Canwest Global in the Bussiness Services sector, and then a few more at the Manitoba Museum as an event coordinator, she finally turned her part time hobby (jewelry making) into a full time job.
You may have seen her at the one of the many craft shows, or farmers markets.
But she had really always wanted her own store.
Armed with her experience, and an educational background from RRCC, including, Business Admin, Human Resources, and Events Management.
A ton of research and inspiration from visiting other similar stores across the continent. She was feeling prepared.
So when the owners of Poco Beads were ready for the next chapter in their own lives, it seemed like all the stars were aligned.
