blank Wojo's Greenhouse Wojo's has two locations, with the main one in Ortonville consisting of 1-acre of covered retail and 2-acres of open retail. The company has been in business for 24 years and does about $3 million in sales annually. Training is a major focus of Wojo's, and it offers one-on-one training for entry level employees, as well as continuing education for those who are interested in attending community classes, industry events or seminars.

Another interesting program for employees is an employee book read during slower seasons.

"For this we pick a book that generally has something to do with either retailing, marketing, business growth or business ethics, or something along those lines," writes respondent Kevin Westrick. "We then lay out what chapters will be read and every week we have a group discussion about those chapters. We feel this is a great way to have everyone get a different view and gain some knowledge on a wide variation of topics dealing with the business."
