From the Garage to the Gallery: Farmhouse Stone

June 10, 2022

Jennifer Jones, owner of Farmhouse Stone in Houston, Texas, started her natural stone and tile business in her garage. She decided to take a leap of faith to open her first showroom and has grown from 700 square feet to 3,000 square feet over a four-year period. Jones discusses the benefits of being a member of Women in Stone and offers advice to other female entrepreneurs who may be considering opening their own flooring galleries.
