Hello! Who are you and what business did you start?
Thank you for taking the time to tell our story. My name is Adam Dwidari, and I am the founder of Scarpetta Shoes. We sell designer women’s shoes at deeply discounted prices.
I started this business back in 2009 with $2,000 out of a small space and have since expanded to a 50,000 square foot warehouse. In 2019, we employ 30+ people between our Columbus warehouse and pop-up shops and are continuing that growth into 2020.
Scarpetta Shoes has hit huge milestones in 2018-2019 and saw an overall sales increase of over 200%, reaching $3.6 million in annual revenue. We have expanded our international sales by 400%, currently ship to 60 countries and have an inventory of over 40,000 pairs of shoes.
