In the early 1990’s Sherry created an Antique Mall and Coffeehouse in a deserted historic downtown building in Nampa, Idaho. She managed the day-to-day operations of three distinct retail businesses within one complex. Her role involved strategic planning; sales and marketing; negotiating and buying; decorating and design; and the development of internal quality systems. It also entailed the recruitment of over 20 volunteer vendors along with their training in customer service, team development, effective communication skills, and conflict resolution. She was also an active Downtown Association Board member and worked towards the beautification of the Historic Downtown area.
