Emily Haggart from Avalilly’s Nominated for Inc.’s Entrepreneur of the Year

Emily Haggart, owner of Avalilly’s boutique, (www.avalillys.com), has been nominated for Inc.com’s Entrepreneur of the Year and has advanced to the next round where readers determine the nation’s best and brightest of 2007.

Emily Haggart understands the importance of moving inventory in retail and created a smart plan to help boutique stores move their stock in the most economical way. Her first entrepreneurial venture was Avalilly’s online, where she sold designer fashion clothing from boutiques on eBay. The growing demand for these fashions, at lower than designer prices, grew as did her partnerships with specialty boutiques around the country.

Thanks to that growing demand, Emily opened an Avalilly’s storefront in Cornelius, NC. This upscale women’s clothing boutique features highly sought-after contemporary designers at prices you wouldn’t expect.

Emily brings excess inventory and fashion overstock from the nation's top women's boutiques to sell in her Cornelius or online store. Her buying strategy and relationships with other boutique owners allows her to stock Avalilly’s with new fashions frequently.

To complete the retail circle, Emily now co-owns a high-end clothing boutique in Charlotte, NC called Fresh. With three businesses, Emily is involved in all facets of retail, which allows her to understand all aspects of the buying and selling process. Emily’s continued success is a result of her entrepreneurial spirit, tenacity and ability to look for niches in the market where she can serve.
