Our first chat with Brent Barkin was good enough that we needed more time with him AND we wanted to hear how he was responding to Covid amongst his 20-ish stores across the southeast. We learn Brent gives each store a lot of autonomy on when to reopen and how to manage traffic flows on the floor. We also get his predictions on what the shakeout in the market place might look like.

Josh Davison knows the oil business. While Davison Fuels focuses on the last part of oil production – getting it to the consumer – the whole process influences his work and his product. Josh explains why oil prices are so low and why oil companies were paying people to take it from them for a short time (“it was like a Coke fizzing over the side of the glass – it had nowhere to go”). He gives explanations for gasoline prices rising fast and falling slow, and what he sees when he walks into a gas station.

When Mary Beth visited market, buyers told her what they wanted. She listened, dummied up some bags using paper and tape, and about a year later had 17,000 of her creations in storage around Fairhope, Alabama after the container arrived from China. It was Go Time. Today her bags and totes are available nationwide in boutique retailers as well as national department stores. It’s a story of listening to your customer, methodical preparation, family support, and accepting a bit of risk.
