THE GUYS THAT STARTED IT ALL

Way back in 2010, Dann Boyles and Chip Minor, co-owners of Rebel and Sticky Fingers, picked up from their grown-up lives in Nashville to move back home to West Michigan. For years, they'd dreamt of owning a beautiful little shop. Despite a recession, stock market crash, and a housing foreclosure, the two of them started what would come to be known as Rebel. And they haven't looked back since.

CHIP // Paper Daddy


PRONOUNS: He/Him
STORE: Rebel
STAR SIGN: Virgo
ENNEGRAM: 3
FAV PRODUCT: Greeting cards, duh
A LIL ABOUT HIM: Co-founder of Rebel, Chip is impossible to ignore in the store. Not only is he super tall, loud, and bald, but is often seen giving his peeps a big bear hug. He’s obsessed with all things paper, hence the "Paper Daddy" title, saying that "good greeting cards make everyone feel and loved when they get one." And we just love that.

DANN // Gift, Environment & Snack Influencer


PRONOUNS: He/Him
STORE: Rebel
STAR SIGN: Scorpio
ENNEGRAM: 4
FAV PRODUCT: Anything that helps someone take back their power
A LIL ABOUT HIM: Dann makes Rebel, Rebel. As Co-Founder, he’s responsible for most of the creative direction of the two stores, including most of the shelf styling and product ordering. When he’s not working, he usually to fixing up his 120-year-old home, cooking with ingredients from his garden, or browsing for antiques. Wanna say hi? Just look for the mustache.

ERIN, AKA UR MOM // Boss Bitch & Store Momager


PRONOUNS: She/Her
STORE: Rebel / Sticky Fingers
STAR SIGN: Virgo

A LIL ABOUT HER: Someone’s gotta be the responsible one around here. Erin’s not only our Store Momager, but she’s a mama at home, too. She’s married to her high-school sweetheart, and, together, they have three amazing, gorgeous, sweet girls. She’s a total dog lover (Shoutout to her Golden, Dolly!) but probably an even bigger beer fanatic. Catch her dancing and singing behind the counter.

STAR SIGN: Libra sun, Sagittarius Moon, Scorpio Rising
ENNEGRAM: 4 w/ a 3 wing

A LIL ABOUT THEM: What Lindsay lacks in height, they make up for in personality. As our reigning IG queen, Lindsay is always on their phone capturing content. (Hot tip: Tune in on Saturday mornings at 10am EST to see their IG Live of Rebel’s inventory.) Outside of work, they are all about that #craftlife, making custom rugs and candles. Lindsay is also endlessly dedicated to their cat, Winnie, who’s a “sweet tiny giant baby man.”

KARA // The Candy Man


PRONOUNS: She/Her
STORE: Sticky Fingers
STAR SIGN: Aquarius
ENNEAGRAM: 4, I think
FAV PRODUCT: Unique vegan treats and ridiculous toys
A LIL ABOUT HER: One thing about her is that she has seven cats. (Yes, SEVEN!) And we feel like for you to accurately understand Kara, you’ve gotta hear the names of her cats: Poopsie, Pillow, Gramps, Noodles, Bino, Marshmallow, and Tiny Arms. So, when she’s not dealing candy, she’s at home hanging with her cats, watching The Office, painting, drawing, gardening, or baking vegan treats. Meow!

They also love the big love that Rebel and Sticky has for the community. Like most of our crew, Elise is an artist – creating works in all different types of mediums. So, when you stop in, make sure to ask them about their current creative pursuit.
