The owners of the company are uniquely experienced in the retail industry as well as active members of the Lake Havasu Community.

Gregg Staples has a lifetime of experience in the retail trade. While growing up his father was General Manager of an upper scale Men's store, Dunham's of Maine. Following in his father's footsteps, after attending college in Colorado and two tours in the US Army, Mr. Staples became a visual merchandising specialist for a governmental instrumentality, and then went on to assume the same capacity with The Bon Marche, a premier department store chain headquartered in Seattle and now part of the Macy chain. While at The Bon Marche, Mr. Staples rose through the system as a Department Manager, Assistant Buyer, Buyer, Divisional Sales Manager, and eventually Buyer in Men's Clothing.

Mr. Staples also served as Vice President and General Manager for another Seattle-based retail chain before moving to the other side of the table. For the past 10 years, he has been directly involved in overseas custom manufacturing and importing. Mr. Staples was ExecVP and the driving force in a Seattle-based China Trading Company, and is currently serving as President and CEO of IAG Importing, Inc., which is involved in importing, sourcing and custom manufacture of wearable, consumer and promotional products.

Tiana Staples also has extensive retail experience. After graduating from college in Seattle, Mrs. Staples spent 17 years focusing primarily on floor management where she singularly excelled at The Bon Marche's largest and most influential mall location. Moreover, she managed the largest profit center departments including "The Cube" (Juniors) and "The Tiger Shop" (Young Men's'). Mrs. Staples garnered numerous and repeated awards and accolades for her management style and effectiveness particularly in her long tenure as manager of the chain's largest volume cosmetics department managing more than 30 ego-driven cosmeticians and numerous cosmetic lines.

Gregg & Tiana met, and married, while they both were working at The Bon Marche.
