November’s A chat with Ashton Harrison, founder, president/CEO, Shades of Light

CS: So you struck out on your own to start a retail store.
AH: Yes, that’s right.

CS: What led you to start a catalog?
AH: We had a lot of customers who came to our store from out of town. And they’d ask why we didn’t have a store in their communities. We thought that starting a catalog would prevent us from having to go everywhere.
