Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Since 1987
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Dear Little Dollies was founded by Dorothy and Louis Camilleri and currently operated by Louis and several of his children. Dorothy was an avid doll person since childhood. When Louis retired from his job as a chemist, the couple decided that Dear Little Dollies would be an ideal retirement business, combining their respective interests in doll collecting and business, and also involving their children for a family experience.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We love dolls, doll makers, doll lovers and doll collectors! We have an unbeatable selection of some of the most beautiful dolls in the world displayed in an attractive shop which is easily accessible from points east and west. We offer excellent and friendly customer service as well as a great layaway policy. Having personally known many of our doll makers for many years, we are very knowledgeable about the dolls they create. Often we can obtain hard to find collectible dolls or exclusives from them.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one beautiful location and have been there for around 20 years. We currently are redesigning our web site and will be launching soon.
