Lorie & Valentino | Owner of Simply Amazing Marketplace

If you've ever visited Simply Amazing Marketplace, you've already experienced the warmth, creativity, and care that Lorie brings to everything she does. As one of the owners, she’s the heart behind the store’s unique charm.

Lorie was born in Alaska, raised between Florida and Arizona, and today she’s proud to call the Verde Valley home. She and her husband Ronnie have been married since 1996 and have three wonderful children and a growing number of grandchildren which she feels very blessed for 🙌

By day, Lorie works full-time at Y.E.S the ARC, an organization that supports adults with developmental disabilities. And by passion, she pours her energy into Simply Amazing Marketplace. She wears many hats owner, buyer, marketer, bookkeeper, and interior stylist and she does it all with heart. Lets not forget her trusty best paw friend Valentino by her side helping every step of the way.

Travel is one of her greatest joys. Whether it's exploring new countries or simply discovering a hidden gem nearby, Lorie finds inspiration everywhere she goes.

To her, this store is more than a business. It's a creative outlet, a space for connection, and a reflection of the community she loves so much.

We’re so thankful for all she does and can’t wait for what’s ahead.
