Hazelwoods Retail is a veteran player in the gift shop sector, tracing its roots to 1976 when founder Rich Hazelwood opened the first shop in Phoenix, Arizona. The company has historically operated a broad network of gift shops, including more than 100 storefronts nationwide before refocusing to a smaller set of locations and later re-entering hotel and resort gift shop operations after a non-compete lapse in 2004. Its service model emphasizes managing the operational complexities of in-house gift shops, such as staffing, inventory, store fixtures, point-of-sale systems, and related administrative tasks, with an arrangement that aligns incentives through base rent and revenue-sharing components. Based in Phoenix, Hazelwoods positions itself within the retail industry by offering outsourced gift shop management to hospitality properties, aiming to improve sales performance for client stores.
