Mark Contento, owner of Arizona Hatters, joined Karla on this week’s Thrive Tucson to talk about the evolution of his storied company.

For Mark, what makes his company compete with the “big box stores” is personal attention and passion for the product. And the fact that he is the only store in Southern Arizona that can refurbish and repair hats can’t hurt. You don’t stay in business nearly 80 years without doing something right!
