BLUE PEPPERMINT
Jessica Landez 317-443-6001 I grew up watching my Dad build a very successful business doing something he loved. Watching him taught me I could also build something great if I found what I loved. As far back as I can remember, shopping was such a treat, so much so, I dreamed of someday getting locked inside a mall and having to live there. Guess it’s no surprise I choose to own a Boutique. I love everything about this business, but my favorite part is the connection with our customers!
