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.

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.
