Bedside Manor a Four-Shop Mainstay in Chicago Suburbs

摘要

You might say Meg and Michael Carroll have mastered the home textiles specialty retailing business in their vast suburban market. Co-owners and operators of Bedside Manor Ltd., the married couple and parents of three 20-somethings have managed to raise their family and grow their business over the past 28 years into a four-unit chain of luxury linen stores in spite of external economic hurdles and rapidly shifting practices in the indus-try. Meg Carroll was actually the one who founded the business. She aligned forces with her longtime friend and colleague Rosella Louis, founder of Brass Bed of Denver, which was featured in this monthly column in the May 13 issue.
