The start of something new

Good morning and happy Saturday RJ,

Our latest edition of Copacetic is on the streets and it’s all about new beginnings. We’ve got stories on the new Desert Sunrise High School, former Maricopa Mayor Christian Price transitioning to a new job and a new future for the Maricopa Pantry after a fire. Make sure to grab a copy for yourself and a friend.

The next generation of shop owners

I think my favorite story in this edition of Copacetic is about Isabella Guilford. She’s the 16-year-old owner of Mercantile Maricopa, a store full of fun collectables, antiques and memorabilia. There is literally something for everyone on the packed shelves of this store.

The idea is the brainchild of both Guilford and her parents. It’s designed to cater to different generations. Read more about how this teen manages to juggle class work and her new business.
