Anna Trost

Clueless Chick #1

You’re likely to see Anna at the shop on a regular basis since she goes through complete withdrawal when she tries to take a day off. She’s the expert that can answer all of your questions–from the clueless to the connoisseur.

Beth McNichol

Clueless Chick #2

Beth is the “not so silent” partner behind the scenes who keeps us afloat. Unfortunately, you won’t see much of her at the shop, she’s keeping her day job in New Jersey to make sure the conservative banker in us is satisfied.
