What It's Like to Run a Branch
Flexibility
Community
Sustainability
"I run operations from my 1,000 sq. ft. home, serving 20–50 customers per month. Operations take less than 10 hours per week and require roughly 75 sq. ft. of storage. Monthly revenues range from $1,000-$3,000, with profits adjusted based on gear purchases. Customers come through social media mom groups and word-of-mouth. I sometimes hire others to help with deliveries."
Bo Zhao, Baby Gear Group founder and Philadelphia branch owner
