Spotlight: The Blooming Business of Jona Gift and Specialties

Since February 2022, Jonalyn Udelhofen has been the proud owner of Jona Gift and Specialties. Her store is a delightful blend of flowers and gifts, and it is nestled within the McChord Main Base Exchange in Washington.

Owning a small business isn't just a venture for Jonalyn; it's a lifelong passion. Therefore, when the perfect moment presented itself to turn her dreams into reality, she seized it with both hands. According to Jonalyn, the most rewarding part about owning a business is witnessing the joyful reactions of her clients when they are happy and satisfied with her floral creations, a testament to the exceptional service she provides. Despite the highs, she navigates the challenges that arise, particularly during post-holiday lulls and slower days.

For those considering stepping into the world of entrepreneurship, Jonalyn provides straightforward yet wise advice: “have a solid plan in place.”

Looking ahead, Jonalyn has exciting aspirations. She plans to open a second store at the Madigan Hospital in the near future. Also, she would like to broaden the reach of her business by introducing a convenient delivery service.

Armed Forces Bank will be rooting for Jonalyn every step of the way!
