Fall 2004

Art Glass Emporium
Ray and Fran Beaupré chose to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams eight years ago when Ray got laid off from his automotive job. The couple lived on Fran’s nursing salary while Ray put the store together. Fran brought her knowledge of glass to the partnership, while Ray brought high mechanical aptitude and worked to acquire the business acumen needed for start-up. He knew from the beginning that maintaining a strong inventory of glass was key and continues to make sure that there is a large and continually expanding inventory, which currently includes 5,000 items.
