CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas â Nikki Riojas is the owner of the Made in Corpus Christi store. The store partners with around 30 local vendors and designers to sell locally sourced products.
When the pandemic started, Riojas was fortunate to be able to move all her business online, which allowed those vendors and designers to still sell their products.
âWe were one of the luckier businesses, because we were already 100% online, so itâs easier for us to say, âokay we canât have people in the store, but we can certainly drive traffic to the website,ââ she said. âIt was really amazing for us to be able to still have an outlet for people to sell.â
