Renee Fashions and Gift Market is owned by Gaile and Mike Williams, a husband and wife duo, and Jerry Williams, Gaile’s brother-in-law.

The duo thought it would be even better if they could do it before the holiday season so customers could have more options while looking for presents and gifts. They then came up with a win-win plan that would save time and money and would help other businesses as well.
