Mother-Daughter Businesses Make Mt. Lebanon’s Washington Road Home

Post-Gazette.com:

They are business partners who love and trust one another, and who are, in many cases, best friends who live a stone’s throw apart.

Open and honest, they engage in vibrant, disagreements without threat of damaging their strong bond.

Does one partner have a doctor’s appointments? No problem. The other takes over. Is a baby sitter sick today? Again, no problem, This ”boss” is willing to fill in for a busy mommy.

Some of these business partners even vacation together. But perhaps the biggest selling item: “I get to spend time with my child,” said Nancy Rohm, who co-owns Zipper Blues with her daughter, Jamie Rohm.

“I don’t know what I would do without my mom,” said Donna Deguilio, who operates Moda Donnatella with her mother, Vienna Vizzoca.

“I couldn’t have picked a better partner,” said Tamiko Sampson of daughter Tami Sampson. The pair co-own The Fabric Place.

They are three of a number of mother-daughter duos who are in business together in the 1600–1700 block of Washington Road in Mt. Lebanon.
