Andoniadis Retail Services has consulted with hospital gift shops throughout the United States and Canada. In addition we have presented profit-generating seminars and workshops on all topics impacting the performance of hospital gift shops.

Andrew Andoniadis, the owner of Andoniadis Retail Services, first worked in retail at age twelve pushing a broom in the back room of a men's clothing store in Deerfield, Illinois. He continued to work in retail through graduate school. In 1985 he developed the first retail store for Smith & Hawken, the nationwide marketer of fine quality gardening implements. Later, he co-founded Quinby's, a California based children's book, and arts and crafts store, that was sold to members of the Disney family in 1989. Today, Andrew continues to learn more about hospital gift shops with the teacher being his eighty-six year old mother who still volunteers for a weekly shift at a hospital gift shop in California.

Andrew's all-day How To Make Your Hospital Gift Shop More Profitable seminar and other workshops have been presented for individual hospitals and health care conferences. The strength of Andoniadis Retail Services is rooted in thirty years of accumulated knowledge in commercial retailing and the concentrated experience of working with hospital gift shops since 1992.
