Simple & Sentimental grows from dorm room to 7,000 square foot warehouse
Taylor Walden was 18 years old when she launched the personalized gift company Simple & Sentimental in her dorm room at East Carolina University in 2016. After tripling its revenue from 2018 to 2019, the pandemic halted the company's growth. Simple & Sentimental learned to adapt, pivoting to produce face shields and then again to launch a line of quarantine-themed gift boxes. The company moved into a new facility in 2021 with more than $1 million in annual sales and 15 employees.

HOTWORX sweats out the pandemic

The franchised business opened in February 2020 and had to shut down less than two months later. They had 355 members at the time and did not charge them for their membership while closed, so they needed funds to pay their expenses.

The client reopened and built up to 695 members in just a few months, growing sales by over $750,000 and adding two additional part-time jobs.
