Maggie Mountaineer Crafts
Phil co-owns, runs, and manages Maggie Mountaineer Crafts located in Maggie Valley North Carolina. They are one of the most popular tourism stores in the small mountain town and were forced to shut down in March of 2020 under the Governor’s orders due to the COVID-19 epidemic. Phil was given our information from a local Small Business Center, and he called to see if I could help him save their 70-year-old family run business with COVID relief loans and grants. We got to work immediately.
After a robust discussion to fully understand all their needs to include inventory and sales impacts, staffing concerns and more we decided to utilize a diversified approach. We helped Phil work through the SBA EIDL, PPP and NC Rapid Recovery Loans with speed and efficiency and helped to monitor the progress daily. Our team also helped Phil manage work through the immediate impacts on the store’s revenue to ensure that they could continue to keep staff on payroll.
The Outcomes
- SBA EIDL Loan
- PPP Grant
- NC Rapid Recovery Loan
- The company was able to stabilize within 4 months of receiving their COVID-19 Loans and Grants and by 2022 the company doubled their revenues, paid off all debts and hired 12 more staff members.
“I thought we were going to lose it all during the COVID shutdown until I met Roxanne. She guided us with emotional support, kindness, and she knew her stuff when it came to applying for the COVID relief loans that saved our business. All the advice she gave us was accurate and I’m thankful we listened to her – it was a scary time for our family. We are forever grateful for her – She’s our superhero!”
