The 2020 Small Business of the Year award was presented to It's About Time Boutique at the 81st Annual Meeting & Quarterly Luncheon on February 9, 2021.
Despite the struggles 2020 brought to businesses, It's About Time Boutique pushed forward, invoked their creativity, and made 2020 their best year to date. When the store was forced to close due to COVID-19, they responded with a stronger push for online sales, which netted $60,000 in revenue. Upon reopening, It's About Time added nearly $500,000 to the local economy over the next seven months.
Over the years, It's About Time Boutique has garnered six People's Choice Awards for the Best Shop in Bartow County through the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention and Visitors Bureau. They were also named the largest retailer in the nation in 2020 for two designer lines, Southern Gates and Wrendale Designs.
