Alan and Tatia Childers<\/p><\/div>\n

What started out for Tatia and Alan Childers as a move management business eventually transformed into something entirely different. \u201cWe started selling our clients\u2019 unwanted items, but we couldn\u2019t be in the shop and on jobs at the same time, so we decided to scrap the move management part and just do consignment,\u201d Tatia says.<\/p>\n

Tatia and Alan met in San Diego, where Alan was stationed with the military. In California, Tatia was at school at Purdue studying health and wellness. \u201cWhen we retired we moved to Waynesville, which we love,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

The two are passionate about researching every item that arrives at their store. \u201cWe learn so much, we get to meet people from all over the world, but, best of all, we get to work together,\u201d Tatia says.<\/p>\n

Girl Friday is located at 85 Muse Business Park in Waynesville. To learn more visit GirlFridayConsignment.com<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
