esort and beach
shops are more
than a convenient
stop-off point for
beach and resort necessities.
These shops remind
visitors why they came to
the resort or beach in the
first place. Retail managers
stock their stores with practical
and luxury items that
reflect not only the vacation
atmosphere but also
the natural beauty and
local ambience that surround
the resort and beach
areas as well.
At Ballantyne Resort in
Charlotte, N.C., pampering
and relaxation is the
number one priority and

fact. Director of Retail
Judie Kellett believes that
a core line of products is
essential to any store, but
those products must be
complemented by new
items that add freshness to the mix.
