From Loss to Launch: A New Collective

When Painted Tree shut down, Thom Quinlan and Nathan Meredith lost everything—six locations, all their inventory, just ten days to pack up. Instead of giving up, they turned crisis into opportunity, launching Mercantile Collective in the Village at Coventry. This new space is built for small business owners, especially those displaced by Painted Tree, giving them creative freedom and control over their own futures. It’s a powerful comeback story—proving that when one door closes, you can build something better, together. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
