Since 1992, Andrew Andoniadis has specialized in enhancing the profits of hospital gift shops through his consulting services and programs. He has consulted with hospitals and auxiliaries and has been a featured seminar presenter throughout the United States and Canada.
Andrew first worked in retail at age twelve pushing a broom in the back room of a men's clothing store in Deerfield, Illinois. He continued to work in retail through graduate school. In 1985 he developed the first retail store for Smith & Hawken, the nationwide marketer of fine quality gardening implements. Later, he co-founded Quinby's, a California based children's book, and arts and crafts store, that was sold to members of the Disney family in 1989.
In addition to consulting, Andrew designs gift shops, and conducts gift shop profitability reviews and on-site customer service and selling workshops. He also publishes the Profitable Times™ newsletter, available on this web site, in which he has written about every aspect of hospital gift shop retailing. Andrew is the Technical Editor for the Retail Business Kit for Dummies book and contributes to several periodicals. He has trained, motivated, and managed volunteers and employees for a wide range of hospital gift shop sales, buying and administrative responsibilities.
