George Vodin
Fancy Art
Mr. Vodin’s entry into the art and framing business is the culmination of a lifetime of experience. Born and raised in his parents’ restaurant business; he learned a lot about human nature at an early age, as well as the operation, controls and efficiencies necessary to operate a successful retail business. At age seventeen, he took a sales position with “Great Books of The Western World” a division of “Encyclopedia Britannica.” Within a year he became divisional trainer for the Chicago central office, responsible for training management candidates. Then, to help in his mother retire, he opened a lounge (bar) in their dining room adjoining the restaurant; within a year, “The Burgundy Room” had become one of the busiest night spots on the south side of Chicago. Mr. Vodin served four years in The United States Marine Corp. as an Airborne Missile Control Systems Technician (radar) - a rigorous and intense one-year course equivalent to a four-year college electronic engineering degree, in addition to also receiving his college GED. After his release from the service, he returned to college, but soon took a management position with a small chain of two discount health and beauty supply stores; as the corporate manager, he built it to nine stores within one and one-half years; at that time, it was larger than Walmart and the national sales manager of Proctor and Gamble visited the stores to learn more and study our business operations, which later became the model for The Riteway Discount chain. For purposes of brevity, Mr. Vodin also partnered in manufacturing a successful line of children’s furniture, worked in auto sales, computer office system sales, and as a commodity broker.
