The Shop is a one stop shop for strategic business planning and development.

We stock the right solutions for businesses and brands, big and small. Both emerging 

start-ups and established companies frequent The Shop to turn their ideas into action. To expand their opportunities, and build upon strengths. To solve hard problems, and speculate on growth. And to browse our top-shelf case studies, and focus on planning proven paths to success. 

As a distinguished hybrid, The Shop helps build viable businesses in both conventional industries and the cannabis industry. Our hybrid Shop is the result of 15 years of traditional national CPG and consumer healthcare experience, and 3.5 years of deep-rooted involvement in the emerging cannabis industry.

Cindy Kosydor opened The Shop in 2017, supplying it with the expertise and energy that comes from many years collaborating with early stage enterprises and growth-scale companies. She once held leadership positions at powerful Chicago-based hubs for business and product ideation, development and commercialization. For legacy consumer brands and next-gen start-ups alike, she advanced ideas, established brands, readied businesses, launched companies, marketed products and generated sales. 

Now through The Shop, Cindy and the Shop crew are delivering solutions and expanding opportunities for businesses, big and small. Conventional and Cannabis.
