Meet the Team

Cassandra Ornelas 

President 

Senior at Texas State University Major Economics minor Business Administration 

I am passionate about using my skills to help those around me.When my team and I founded this company I made a commitment to do just that. The pandemic negatively affected the economy and put us in a recession. I wanted to make accessing the new essentials easier for families. My main focus is lowering the cost for our customers while providing them with quality products. 

We seek out domestic manufacturers to help restore our economy, as well as keep our consumers stylish and safe!
