Hi, I’m Stuart.

I help brick & mortar business owners make more money with what they’ve already got.

I’ve spent my whole career in the trenches with traditional walk-in businesses — from corporate marketing to theme parks, movie theaters, entertainment centers, swap meets, and casinos.

I’ve launched traffic-driving promos on shoestring budgets and with six and seven figures to spend.

I’ve owned brick and mortar businesses, flipped them, held them, lost them and sold them. I still own and run one now — a wine bar and restaurant.

I know what it means to rely on a steady stream of real people walking through the door.  I know what burnout looks like. I’ve lived it.

That’s why I built EdgeUp Retail.

Not as another “expert brand.”  Not as an agency.

But as a sharp, simple list of moves you can actually take — now.

No fluff. No teams. No theory.

Just one business owner sharing what works with another.

You made it to the bottom of the page. That means you’re serious.

Let’s get real about growth.

📓 Start with the 30-Day Playbook — it’s free and has everything you can do right now to earn more, stress less, and stop guessing.

One email every day for 30 days.  Each with one tactic that can be done quickly, easily and with little to no money.

You are just 30 days from owning your business, instead of your business owning you.
