Small Business
The small business run by Steve Carell
While Steve Carell is a famous celebrity actor who is best known for his character of Michael Scott in ‘The Office’, he is also a small business owner. Steve opened his own small shop ‘The Marshfield Hills General Store’ in 2009 and is like a quaint little hobby for him.
Steve took the chance to buy the historic general store when it was up for sale. The sister of his wife Nancy told the couple about the store being up for sale and Steve leapt at the opportunity, finalising the sale in 2009.
Now, the store is most famous for its famous owner. The store is as much a tourist attraction as it is a shop, and many people visit it simply because it is owned by Steve Carrel.
The shop is a perfect destination for those who are seeking to buy some old-fashion candy or pick up a housewarming present for someone they care about. The store even has its own café serving tea and coffee to those who are interested in it.
The store is a key part in the heart of the local community and is really a nice distraction form the mega-stores that are so common in the Untied States. For small business owners, the shop shows that there is a lot to be enjoyed about keeping this small and leaning into the marketing benefits of being an actually small business.
In this sense, size matters where it comes to sincerity in business. People like the idea of shopping at a small business like this that feel like it has real history behind it and is not an overly-optimised construction designed to maximise profits.
The rustic and old-fashion design is nostalgic for many people and is a key part of the stores’ popularity.
