Business
Drye Goods started in 1997-ish Before that I had a long and storied career in retail including: sales, management, buying, visual merchandising, and inventory control. I worked for Macy's, Mercantile Stores and The Bon Marche-with maybe a very short run at Dillard's due to some retail upheaval in the 1980's in Kansas City, MO. A very, very, long time ago. 2012, 2013 and 2014 I worked on the merchandising team for the now defunct downtown Macy's store in Spokane, WA.
