Kiley Lee has a love for vintage items and furniture, and all the eras that have influenced our lives. As her personal collection has grown, Eras Vintage Resale & Rentals was born!

We had the opportunity to visit Eras Vintage and have a conversation with Kiley, who won the City of Macomb's Small Business Competition last year. She shared the detailed business plan that she and her husband put together. We learned about all the renovation involved in an old, rundown, empty building. She talked about her love for antiques and how she finds them, brings them back to Macomb, and sells or rents them out for special events. And of course, we talked about the amazing cookies that she bakes and sells out every weekeng!

Kiley was very candid with us about the business and happy to answer all questions. We appreciate her time and engagement these young entrepreneurs who will soon be creating business plans and pitches of their own!
