Truckee Retailer’s Successful 32-Year Run Explored

/in /by

On a recent vacation in the Sierra Nevada town of Truckee, California, my family and I wandered into La Galleria, a retailer which sells “gifts from around the world to….create harmony within your home, beauty within your soul, and function within your daily life.”

La Galleria has been in business for 32 years; here are some of the keys to this long-running success:

  • Skillful buying  – their buyer looks for unique items while on her monthly trips to a variety of locations
  • Thoughtful merchandising – at a variety of price points
  • Layout – the small store holds a surprising range of items without looking the least bit cluttered
  • Relaxing ambiance – the Latin music in the background made me want to stay, not leave

So if you are ever in Truckee, by all means, check out La Galleria at 10112 Donner Pass Road,  to see for yourself how all these elements come together.
