| — Wendy Kurtz to David[src] | ||
Wendy Kurtz is a clothier and the former owner of the Blouse Barn, an "upscale, high-end boutique" located in Elmdale. She was a recurring character on the second season of Schitt's Creek.
Overview[]
Wendy hires David Rose the job of brand manager at her boutique, Blouse Barn, even after he insults her the first time he walked in. Wendy is very open to new ideas for her store; however, she can be quite oblivious to things happening right in front of her eyes. She is also not hesitant at giving David a lot of work to do, including the job of watching her stepdaughter, Mandy.
Later, Wendy overextends herself in all the changes David has made at the store and has to fire him solely because she can no longer afford to pay him. Other than that, an Australian company also named Blouse Barn offers her $10,000 for use of the name in North America. But when David learns this, he gets to thinking that they probably stole the name from Wendy, so he and his sister Alexis talk the lawyer up to $100,000, which they reluctantly agree to. Wendy still ultimately decides to shut down the Blouse Barn to focus more on her family, much to David's chagrin as he is still now out of a job.
Later, a man named Antonio, a new business partner of Wendy, gives her the idea of testing a concept of a store very similar to David's Rose Apothecary, but calling it Wendy's Marketplace. Despite this concept doing booming business at the local Flea Market, Wendy is totally oblivious to Antonio's criminal ulterior motives of selling dollar-store valued products and branding them as locally sourced with the Wendy's Marketplace logo, as well as charging Wendy more than what they're actually worth. It isn't until David, in recognizing Antonio from seeing him enter Rose Apothecary once, tells Wendy what Antonio is doing that she ultimately ends their partnership.
