The partnership of Lori and Lisa actually began many years ago when Lori was born (Lisa is only 14 months older).  As sisters, we grew up together, played church-league basketball together, attended school together, shared secrets, and provided support for one another through many of the happy and sad times of our lives.
 

Lisa and Lori became business partners in early 2002, when they decided to embark in a small business called “For Every Season Consignment Sale.”  Both having been stay-at-home mothers on tight budgets, we had to learn to adjust our lifestyles to fit our incomes. We found that one of the biggest ways to save money was to buy our children’s clothes and toys second-hand from friends and family members who had older children. Wishing to assist other families in saving money, we decided to have a large consignment sale, in which people could sell their unwanted items and buy the next sizes at great prices.
 

After deciding to take the plunge into the “retail” business, we both struggled with a name—one that would encompass our desires to help others and our beliefs that God can use each of us in every aspect of our lives, including our choices in vocation.  We decided on the name “For Every Season” after Lori was reminded of the Ecclesiastical passage:

Immediately after starting the business, we realized that we would need a lot of help if we were going to be successful.  Since we had already broken the first rule of business (never mix business with family!), we decided to make it a total family business.  We enlisted the help of our spouses, Allen Hoffman and Robert Johnson; our parents, Richard and Caroline Krueger and Lori’s mother-in-law, Lanna Carroll-Boulware.
 

We hope that our consignors consider themselves to be small business owners in partnership with For Every Season.  The mission of For Every Season is to empower families to make an income by selling their items and to also make the most of their income by saving money at the Sale!
