History

Established in 2013.

Blanchard Group Consulting began as a partnership between my great mentor Ray Minton as we worked as partners in St. Vincent de Paul– Detroit. Ray and I teamed up to take a struggling team of 14 stores from a -$ 900,000 loss to a turn around in less than 5 year to strong +740,000 surplus. We decided then that our expertise in turning around retail and resale business was what we really had passion for and thus, Blanchard Group Consulting was born.

Meet the Business Owner

Anthony B.

Business Owner

Anthony began his retail career in the late 1980’s at the local grocery store in his hometown Saint Clair Michigan. He began as a produce clerk and soon worked his way up to produce manager of a $ 12,000 a week department, this began his interest in the retail business. Concentrating on learning merchandising techniques, shrink reduction and pricing strategies Anthony ensured the department continued to produce a positive gross profit percent to contribute to the success of the store. (The seed of understanding how to increase profit was planted.)
