|  | "I can't adequately express how much of a lifeline Midlands SCORE has been to us as a growing business" - Rozalynn Goodwin |
Gabrielle (Gabby) Goodwin was only five when she asked her mom to make a barrette that worked - really worked.
Seeing promise in the question, Gabrielle's mom, Rozalynn Goodwin, teamed up with her daughter and after two years, created GaBBY Bows.
Noticing that their business was growing faster than Gabby, the team turned to SCORE for advice on topics from manufacturing to financing.
In March 2016, GaBBY Bows was named a 2016 American Small Business Champion by SCORE and Sam's Club.
