By 2025, she had two bridal boutiques in Ottawa — and a plan to put them both under one roof.
In this episode of the BOSS Podcast, host Mindi Linscombe sits down with Abby, owner of Never Knew (off-the-rack) and Always Knew (made-to-order), to talk about the fast, furious, and intentional growth behind one of Canada's most exciting bridal businesses.

This isn't a "follow your dreams" story. It's a story about reading the data, knowing when to delegate, building a team you can actually trust (yes, including your sister), and figuring out what you should actually be doing in your own business.

If you're a bridal shop owner who's juggling too much, second-guessing your model, or wondering whether two locations is a smart move or a chaotic one — this episode is for you.

⏱️ TIMESTAMPS
00:00 — Welcome & Intro
00:24 — How Abby's business actually started (hint: it wasn't a bridal store)
01:30 — The consignment pop-up that changed everything
02:20 — Building a team with her sister + defining roles intentionally
03:19 — Party princess, side hustles, and the entrepreneurial mindset
04:30 — A week in the life: marketing, buying season & Saturday appointments
05:40 — Growing up with hustlers — where her confidence came from
07:18 — Why personal branding matters more than she realized
08:00 — The word-of-mouth mistake she wishes she'd fixed sooner
09:30 — What's ahead: community, connection, and the future of bridal retail
11:18 — Abby's final advice for bridal shop owners

]]> Mindi Linscombe Buzzsprout-19105664 Fri, 01 May 2026 02:00:00 -0600 1447 full false How She Bought a Bridal Shop at 25 — And Built a Profitable Business How She Bought a Bridal Shop at 25 — And Built a Profitable Business In this episode of the BOSS Podcast, we’re sharing a powerful bridal shop owner success story with Alicia Adams, owner of Hers Bridal in Louisiana.

Alicia reveals how she bought a 40-year-old bridal store at just 25 years old, put everything on the line with her husband to secure financing, and spent the last decade transforming the business into a thriving bridal boutique.

But this conversation goes deeper than business strategy.

We talk about the emotional realities of entrepreneurship — burnout, mindset struggles, losing team members, navigating grief after a bride passed away, and the moment Alicia almost sold her business… before realizing how valuable it truly was.

If you’re a bridal shop owner, boutique owner, or retail entrepreneur, this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and remind you why you started.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ How Alicia bought her bridal shop with no prior ownership experience
✔️ The risks she and her husband took to start the business
✔️ Why niching down to bridal transformed her store
✔️ Adding menswear and expanding revenue streams
✔️ Planning large events and managing multiple projects as an owner
✔️ Overcoming burnout and rebuilding mindset after a difficult season
✔️ The power of gratitude, journaling, and positive inputs for entrepreneurs
✔️ Why community and coaching matter for boutique owners

This is an honest, inspiring conversation about resilience, leadership, and building something meaningful in the bridal industry.

As a mother-daughter duo, Stephanie Vincent and her daughter Tiffany have brought Pritchétt from a small bridal shop in the corner of Orem, Utah, to the thriving and well-known powerhouse in the bridal industry it is today. They love working together, and because of each of their strengths, Pritchétt continues to grow each day. 

Stephanie has had her feet in the fashion world for many years, as both a former Mrs. Utah and a highly sought-after pageant coach and judge. She started a real estate company with her husband in 2002 and has been an award-winning realtor in Utah in the decades since, including her time as President of the Utah County Association of Realtors. It was this entrepreneurial spirit and business-minded ambition that encouraged Stephanie's daughter Tiffany to ask her if she wanted to buy a bridal shop together. 

After careful consideration, she decided to take the plunge with Tiffany and they bought Avenía together. Since then, Stephanie has been the mastermind behind running Pritchétt. Because of Stephanie’s experience with running a business and building a successful company from the ground up, Pritchétt has flourished in its seven years since. Stephanie manages all of the back-end business with ordering dresses, training our top-of-the-line consultants, ensuring that each bride is well taken care of, and much more to make Pritchétt run so smoothly.
