The “Made in America Store” opened its first Florida location at the Wellington Green Mall. Everything it sells is made, crafted and assembled in the USA.
The chain started in New York. Owner Mike Nolan, a U.S. Army veteran, said the rule covers even the bags, thread, glue, packaging and hangers.
Key details
