Over the years, we have had a number of interesting retail concepts on our weekly radio show/podcast. Today we are meeting with Marie DeNicola of Mainstream Boutique. Founded in 1991 by Marie DeNicola as a direct sales company, Mainstream Boutique is a women's retail clothing and accessories franchise that offers a variety of affordable, fashion-forward pieces for women of all ages.

The franchise has boutiques operating in several states. The Minnesota based company, which began franchising in 1998, is expanding throughout the United States.

In part 2 we meet with the legendary Michael Gerber on our Great Quotes in Franchising Podcast.  Click the play button below to hear the podcasts.
