Roni Watkins – Owner of My Country Story

Roni Watkins has been immersed in the service industry and retail world since she could see over the counter at her grandparent’s campground store. Over the years, she has worked in various roles within big box stores and mom-and-pop stores, starting as a sales associate and climbing the ranks to assistant manager, manager, buyer, and now a proud store owner of My Country Story.

A late night candle-making date with her now husband grew into weekends at craft fairs and then selling their handmade goods at local shops. She has since opened a brick-and-mortar location that’s become a home for local artisans to sell their wares. You can find her handmade My Country Story products in over 100 gift shops across the country.
