Powers Reflects on Tea Business in Local News


Assistant Professor Carmen Powers, Business Administration/Economics, was quoted in the May 23 Democrat and Chronicle article "Making room for tea" (in the Business People section - page 10D). The article highlighted the Lady Victoria Room at La-Tea-Da, a tea shop at Alexander Street and Park Avenue that opened this month.

"If it's in the right place, the money is there," Powers said regarding how atmosphere and location will be important to attracting customers, especially empty nesters and the younger crowd. She also conveyed her belief that there is untapped market potential for tea businesses. "It's getting busy people, busy professionals, to take time out from their busy lives to relax."
