Nicole Pape | Embellishr 2 | Shirt Show 256
The state of the used equipment marketplace can be looked at as a barometer for our industry, and this space has flooded as of late due to the tough decisions shops are having to make. From needing equipment upgrades, downsizing, or unfortunately having to liquidate their assets altogether. Nicole Pape from Embellishr has a real pulse on this space, so we had to touch base with her and get some insight. Topics of discussion include: stress pains, rapid growth, information gatekeeping, bank repos and undisclosed liens, shop closures, racing to the bottom, DTF hesitations, tariffs, the retail boom, maintaining a positive outlook, slime, Santana, and Weekend At Bernie’s.
