Get City Dealz and Glam 504: Two Small Town Pennsylvania Women Team Up to Bring Two Great Businesses to New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS --(Business Wire)--
Two women who grew up 4 miles apart in a small county in Northeast
Pennsylvania have teamed up with their businesses to bring new ideas to
the city of New Orleans. Up until 6 months ago, Jessica Galetz , owner
of Glam
504 on Magazine Street, and Liana "Li" Evans, CTO of Get
City Dealz, didn't even realize how close they really were until a
"hometown" connection put them in touch via Facebook (News - Alert).
Evans moved to New Orleans to bring a startup technology business, Get
City Dealz, to the city that focused on helping small businesses market
themselves via an internet website platform. Galetz moved to New Orleans
to start a boutique shop, Glam 504, that focused on unique jewelry and
clothing that has New Orleans flair. Once Get City Dealz started looking
for merchants to help test out their new marketing platform, a mutual
friend from back in their hometown made the introduction, knowing the
introduction would be key in helping each of their businesses.
To each of the women's surprise, they didn't realize how really close
they lived when they were back in Pennsylvania and how many of the same
friends they had from back in Schuylkill County, which is known for the
discovery of Anthracite Coal and being home to America's oldest brewery,
Yuengling. Now the two have teamed up to help one another's businesses
build in New Orleans.

"We both love this city. New Orleans has such charm that you just can't
help but fall in love with it and its people. It's what brought me here,
I wanted to bring something that could help the businesses of New
Orleans and it makes it even greater when one of those New Orleans
businesses happens to have a connection to my hometown," explained Evans
about the connection between her and Galetz.
Glam 504 specializes in offering unique fashion and accessories, fusing
cutting-edge New York style with the laid-back shopping experience only
found in New Orleans. All designers are hand-picked by Jessica, who
searches near and far for unique, independent labels that can't be found
anywhere else in New Orleans. Get City Dealz is helping Jessica get the
word out to more local residents of New Orleans by allowing her to
feature different unique items like their "Citizen
NOLA" St. Patrick's Day shirts.
"Get City Dealz is a great platform that allows me to reach a lot more
people in New Orleans and the surrounding metro area. It makes it easy
for people to share the specials I put up on the site as well as rate
the deals so I know what appeals to people. This site is definitely

stated Galetz.
