Looking back on 2023, we are so grateful that we hosted not one but two COASTAL CONNECTIONS CONFERENCE 🌴 events to serve seaside retailers from across the U.S.! We had a blast at our Jan. 22-24 and Oct. 22-24 events at the 🍹 Margaritaville Resort Orlando 🦜 this past year.

We can't wait to connect with seaside retailers in the year ahead. We wish everyone a healthy and prosperous 2024. Happy New Year! 🎉

Giving back is so important to help communities thrive. In every issue, Seaside Retailer recognizes one store for its charitable efforts being made to the industry and community as a way to inspire and encourage others.

During the COASTAL CONNECTIONS CONFERENCE 🌴, we recognized Seaside Retailer's 2023 Starfish Award winners! One of this past year's winners, Scott Hamblen of Sunshine Ace Hardware in Bonita Springs, Florida, offered a quick presentation and shared why his store jumped into action to give back to employees and community members in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian in 2022.

We're always so impressed to hear stories of small business owners giving back! Is your store making a difference in some way? We'd love to hear your stories! ❤️

We hope everyone is having a very merry holiday season! 🎄❄️🎁

Merry Christmas, everyone from Seaside Retailer and the COASTAL CONNECTIONS CONFERENCE team ❤️
