This week, on the podcast, host Eva Hartling speaks with Jeri Ann Willis, co-founder of The Observatory, Edmonton’s leading destination for independent, luxury eyewear. Jerri Ann purchased her first optical retail space in downtown Edmonton in 1976 at the age of 23, and today, 46 years later, she is still going strong.
