  • Weezie - Lindsey Johnson
    May 6 2025

    This week on Startup to Storefront, we’re joined by Lindsey Johnson, cofounder and CEO of Weezie, the brand redefining what it means to treat yourself with truly elevated bath essentials.

    It all started when her longtime friend Liz had a lackluster experience searching for luxury towels. Newly married and recently moved, she couldn’t believe how underwhelming the options were—so she called Lindsey. Together, they set out to modernize the linen market, and after years of research, they launched Weezie: plush, absorbent, and meticulously crafted towels and robes made in Portugal and finished by hand in Atlanta.

    On this week’s episode you’ll learn:

    • How Lindsey and Liz went from friends to cofounders

    • What it takes to build a product that actually lives up to the hype

    • Why resilience and critical thinking are key to scaling a startup
