About the Owner
Hello everyone, I'm Samantha, and I am delighted to introduce myself as the proud owner and creator of Handmade Goodies. Entrepreneurship has always been close to my heart, having spent nine years in the restaurant industry where customer satisfaction was a top priority. If for any reason, you are not entirely satisfied with your experience with us, please do not hesitate to inform me, and I will do everything in my power to make it right.
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shutdowns led to me being laid off from my job in April 2020. In an effort to keep busy and earn extra income, I began making candles as a hobby. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, Handmade Goodies was born.
Starting this business has been an incredible journey, and I have had the pleasure of meeting new people and developing meaningful relationships with customers. Thank you for choosing to support my small business dream. We are just getting started, and I am excited to see where this journey takes us. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to grow!
