The World’s First Prom Podcast!
Welcome to the World’s First Prom Podcast!  In this introductory episode you’ll meet Ria Carroll, the owner of one of the UK's most popular prom shops, RiRi's.  Ria always dreamed of owning a dress shop and 10 years ago she was an out-of-work actress saving up for a house deposit. That plan fell through but a visit to an estate agent changed everything. She saw an advert for a shop in the window, took a chance, and the rest is history. Fast forward a decade and RiRi’s has sold tens of thousands of dresses, attracting customers from all over the country. Ria now owns RiRi's Prom, RiRi’s Outlet, Rivers Bridal, a new Curve range and now of course the world's first-prom podcast: RiRi's Promcast.  Follow us: https://linktr.ee/ririspromcastProduced by The Podcast Guys: https://thepodcastguys.co.ukWant to create your own podcast?
