Gayle Martin is in the people business. As the owner of The Wish List Gifts, she enjoys interacting with customers who are looking for the next special gift for a friend or colleague. It's been a rewarding experience since she opened the shop in 2007: “I love greeting each customer as they come through my store,” she says.
Gayle says her team of staff members are also very knowledgeable and provide excellent customer service to everyone who walks through their doors. Much of the positive atmosphere at The Wish List Gifts is a reflection of Gayle's vision for how businesses should be run. “One of my youngest staff members closed a sale at the cash register the other day and said to the customer, 'Thank you for supporting our small business'. She brought tears to my eyes,” Gayle says.
On top of her close-knit staff, Gayle's dogs – Millie and Uma – are often in the store and sometimes regulars drop by with a treat for them.
