No labor shortage for Florida woman who pays employees $15 an hour
No labor shortage for Florida woman who pays employees $15 an hour88.5 WMNF, 7/28/2021
Valhalla [resale dress shop] has been opened for about four years with a unique take on retail clothing.
“If you’re a member, the whole store becomes your closet,” owner Danielle Ferrari said. “You can wear anything you like. You rent it. And then if you’re a customer you just come in and shop like it’s a regular store.”
But the business model isn’t the only thing unique about her store. Ferrari has paid employees $15 an hour since she opened. The COVID-19 pandemic forced Ferrari to scale back operations a bit. But once she was able to bring employees back this spring she said the toughest part was choosing just one to hire.
“I had double the amount of applicants from my last time I hired to this time,” she said. “The only change was COVID.”
