We have created high-end products that are full of luxury, but kept in mind that everyone should be able to shop here. Products that are good for you shouldn’t be out of reach economically.

Finding inspiration
I find inspiration everywhere. In the ocean, walking in local parks, from clients who come into the shop, or simply a butterfly going past the window.

 Plans for the future
The business originated in Florida, but we were in love with Savannah. Both of us had deep roots in Georgia, and we wanted to make it home again. My husband James now works side by side with me, and we plan to expand but each store will have the same local feel, full of the southern hospitality you should expect.

Secret to success
While hard work certainly is part of the equation, I think part of our current success is my husband’s charm! He knows all the customers by name.

“Anyone can walk in and afford anything in our store. They get into the same luxurious quality as they would get in Bloomingdale’s without the high markup.”
– Owners Tracy and James Gunn

Alpha Roofing

Decades of experience with both commercial and residential roofing. Licensed, bonded, local. Fully familiar with needs of homeowners and businesses in Savannah and surrounding areas.

Entrepreneurial inspiration
I would say it was entrepreneurial determination. I knew that through hard work and discipline I could own my own business by helping people in more ways than just providing them with a good service.

Your brand in one sentence
I have always been about providing quality over quantity.

South’s most stylish because…
Style is all in the details. We are stylish and stand out from our competitors because of our attention to detail. 

Plans for the future
We will continue to establish long lasting relationships with customers as we expand into other surrounding markets.

Secret to success
If you want to be successful, find something you like doing or you’re good at, and work at being the best. Staying focused on your goals, working hard, and having discipline means that you do not have to fear failure.

“I believe setting your own style is what makes you and sets you apart from everything else.”
