Description:
Love and Healing Time Nursery is a start up business that offers high quality reborn and memorial dolls at a reasonable cost. Our goal is to limit cost so that we can be a price leader and draw customers from large geographic areas. We will sell and customize dolls and accessories to fit our customer needs. These dolls cannot be found in retail malls. Our low pricing, staffing and customer service are aspects that make our store different.
A reborn doll is a soft vinyl doll that has the characteristic of a human baby. The art of doll making is not common in this area. Doll making plays a big role in the toys and craft industry. There are many antiques shops, art and craft shows, and online stores for doll collectors to purchase dolls. There are many dolls stores but not in Safford, Alabama. Our locations will represent an opportunity for a home grown business expands to new heights.
The goal is to receive grants and loans to help establish the business. If approved for a loan, it will be repaid in a period of time including interest and principle. The cash will allow us to build up raw material supplies, purchase a portable building for our store, and to reach a larger audience. We also sale directly from our web store.
