Dawn and Andy
In 2018, we were given the opportunity to open a retail store and start our own business. I stepped away from economic development and Andy came out of retirement to begin Bulldog Liquidators, PA.
We survived Covid, opened a 2nd store in Mt. Pocono, shut down our Brodheadsville store, and in October of 2023, purchased the Holley Ross pottery property in Cresco. We have also renovated (and created over 40 pieces of custom art and furniture) for 6 residential and commercial properties, which we then sold. Stocked, of course, with furniture, vanities, flooring, lighting, rugs, and accessories from Bulldog.
The Holley Ross property is our next victim and back in the day, was a major pocono tourist attraction. We also use it for storage for the Mount Pocono store.
That's our story and if you have questions about anything at all, please reach out.
Love,
Dawn and Andy Hart
