I was the sole creator and owner of the company and brain behind by the brand and initial idea of Restocked LLC which functioned under the DBA name "Walkin' On Water.'' We were the first store of its kind in the city of Santa Rosa, California. We were the premier shoe and clothing store for the urban and street wear fashion scene. We supplied many of the top brands and most exclusive shoes on the market, as well as providing options for trade in and consignment. As well as day to day operations of the storefront such as opening and closing, maintaining high level of cleanliness and proper inventory arrangement and interacting with customers. Scheduling of employees and doing payroll as well as paying of all bills and taxes were also vital elements of the job. Sourcing the latest and most popular inventory was arguably the most important part of the job due to the changing market and trends at any given time that you had to keep up with to succeed.
