I didn’t choose JBF; it chose me. I shopped once and loved the huge savings! My mom and I were searching to see which sales were coming up and stumbled upon a “this sale is for sale” message. We thought it would be fun to be involved in; we loved shopping, and I was HOPING that by starting this side gig, I could possibly cut back on some of my hours at the hospital. I honestly had no idea what I was getting into, but I’m so glad I jumped in!

… it fits my schedule and skill set while allowing me to serve my community and help moms provide for their families.

… it allowed me to see my kiddo on and off the bus every day while still being challenged to apply my skill set in a new way and also still contribute to our family's income.

… of my love for the concept of consignment sales, and my natural inclination towards event planning. JBF was a perfect match for my personality and skillset, and I knew that I could excel in this business. I was looking for something that would allow me to maximize my love for learning, my belief that anything is possible, and my determination to achieve my goals. I also appreciate the seasonal nature of the business, as it allows me to take a break, regroup, make adjustments, and come back stronger. It's a journey, and as I continue to improve, I can positively impact others and be of greater service to those who participate in my sales.

… resale is in my blood (thank you to my Grandma who took me "garage-sale-ing" most Saturdays!), and I get to gather a community of Sellers who provide a much-needed resource for local families.

…there are so many reasons. One and most important was because of their strong Christian values. I also saw it as a community of women coming together to help provide what I saw was a need for other families in the area. It allowed me the flexibility to do it around my work schedule of my full-time job.

… I had a 3-year-old at the time and wanted to be home with him -- he’s now 18 and off to college! JBF allowed me the flexibility to work the hours that fit our schedule and still contribute to the household income.

…while I worked full-time, Melissa served as my tagger and sold items for me at the event. Despite not knowing much about it, I felt drawn to the positive impact it had on the community. After reviewing the financials, researching, and soul-searching, Melissa and I decided to take the leap and become a part of JBF. The best part was that I could choose when to work and set my own hours. Even today, after all these years, it continues to fill both my emotional and financial buckets.

… I love all things about what JBF does for local families and gives back to the community. It allowed me to have a flexible schedule while I homeschooled my kids and contributed to our income.

… the company's mission, direction, and leadership embody love and service to others - which is what I aspire to do.

… it gives me the opportunity to lead an organization that does impactful work for our community while allowing me the flexible schedule to truly shepherd my daughter as she grows.

…of a whim. But unexpectedly, JBF became more than a pastime. It's akin to receiving a bonus gift with a purchase. Through this experience, I've forged meaningful connections at the events and within the franchise community. I am drawn to the camaraderie among women supporting each other. As I delved deeper into this business, I discovered that JBF, in its unique way, allows us to make a difference in people's lives.

… I knew we could help our community. That has always been important to me!

…thrift shopping has always been a part of my life, which is how I discovered JBF Denver many years ago. I had always dreamed of owning my own business, and JBF allowed me to fulfill that dream while also being able to stay at home with my daughters and homeschool them. My youngest daughter will be graduating in May 2024, and it has been invaluable to watch my girls grow and learn the business and skills that come with it.

… I get to run a business that incorporates resale, community, and charities all in one. Not only does running JBF give me the flexibility of being there for my family, but it also gives my family something to be a part of as well! It's important for me to run a business that teaches my kids about giving back and being part of the resale community.

…of what it stood for and it was something I felt good about putting my name behind it. I could also work my own schedule and homeschool my kids, who have been involved since the beginning.

… of its core values and the opportunity to serve our community. JBF allows us to pay it forward in such a fun and rewarding way.

… its flexibility to work from home and manage my schedule around my children. I value making a difference in this world, and our events have a significant impact on our local communities. We not only create an additional revenue stream for families, but we also help reduce waste by finding new homes for useful items. Our unsold items go to our charity, which then distributes them to families in need. It's a win-win-win situation.
