Beth Leonard Hollis started an in-store bakery 20 years ago and built a catalog from scratch

How the catalog was started: The Gift Center Catalog business started 20 years ago with a small brochure. But the idea began accidentally. “A store customer wanted to send some of our products to his clients and asked if we could make baskets for the holidays. We hand-delivered the baskets all over New York and Fairfield County, CT.”
