Building the Southern Lion marketplace, with owner Sonja Nichols

Sonja Nichols is the owner and president of the Southern Lion, a multi-vendor shopping venue that opened in September in a former Sears building in the Carolina Place Mall in Pineville.

The Southern Lion features many of the same vendors who previously sold goods at the Blacklion Home Furnishings Marketplace that operated for 27 years just a mile away from the new Southern Lion.

In this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Nichols shares her insights about what it's been like opening the Southern Lion and what she's learned about business and retail.
