My name is Jodi Rapaport, owner of My Big Finds which just celebrated our 6th anniversary in December 2021. I had been set up at various locations such as Lucketts, VA, but felt it was time to bring a fun hip idea to the Kentlands! After working in the brokerage industry for more than twenty years, I left the corporate world behind to start this journey. The name for my business came to me while sitting in traffic day in and day out dreaming of the chance to do what I love vs. what was safe and familiar. The name comes from my children’s initials and the shop represents the unique finds we offer.
