Rihana Barlage is the owner of a plant shop called “Modern Plantsman” that is a blooming business in downtown Wapakoneta, Ohio and had a grand opening in early April. Since her opening, people have come in and enjoyed looking at everything she has in her shop. Barlage has so many different things, beside any pot and plant you could image, like shirts, notebooks, stickers, signs, wall decor, plates, and so many more other things. I had gone to the Modern Plantsman over my Thanksgiving break, and it was so much fun walking through the shop and looking and finding so many different things, also not to mention the air was so refreshing in there because of all the plants. She also has an amazing and easily accessible online website where you can buy plants or anything online and then go and pick it up in the store. What makes her business unique is that she has a tab on her website called “The Makeover” is she can come to a place, like your work or a room in your home, that you want to liven up with plants and bring many options for you to choose that you can mix and match in your space and there is easy on the spot purchasing. It is so interesting that she mainly sells plants, but has so many other things in her shop and online. Her shop and website in innovating because there aren’t many places where you can get live indoor plants and be able to order them online.
This is such an interesting business! She found a new way for customers to buy plants. The store creates an experience for the customer with the fresh air from the plants and other products that are available to buy. Being from Ohio, now I am definitely going to visit the website and store and see what plants are up for purchase!
