Goldwire’s Out To Make LA’Nitta’s Household Word By Audrey V. Lodato Post Staff Writer LA’Nitta’a Oil & Fragrance* is a marketing venture begun by Ron Goldwire little more than a yew ago. and already he has 40 outlets for his product. Retailers all over town are selling [.A'Nitta’s oils and perfumes, which include the company's versions of such top names as Opium. Musk. Haiston’s. Polo, Oscar de I'Renta, Ralph Lauren, Chloe, Glogioe, Night-Queen, Gucci, Obsession, White Linen, and Gray Flannel. His standard vial retails for $2. Goldwire admits that many people are out there selling the same product on street comers and out of cars, but what makes his service unique, he says, is the convenience, the economical cost, and the variety of fragrances. His version of “Night-Queen" is his best seller for women, while Polo and Ralph Lauren are most popular for yt*ung men and Haiston’s for more mature men. Opium and Musk sell well to both sexes, he says. One of Goldwire’s goals is to have LA'Nitta’s become a household word. "I want to have retailers call me, instead of the other way around,” he states. his first outlet was West Boule vard Grocery. “It went so well that I went around to other stores,” he says. “Because it’s a new pro duct, I leave it on consignment. I try to give my stores good customer service,” he adds. West Boulevard Grocery is still his top-selling retailer. Some other locations where LA’Nitta’s can be found around town include J’s Kwik Stop, 2-Way Gas, Plaza Pharmacy, Btddleville. Pharmacy, Red Ball Discount, Graham St. Superette, Galaxy Discount, Bitsy Bounty, Bob’s Discount, Black World, McComb’s Barber, Special Touch, Tyson Groceries, Pharr Groceries, Pemberton’s, J.

Besides his Charlotte retailers, Goldwire has several stores in Winston-Salem selling for him, as well as some individuals. He’s thinking about expanding to Philadelphia, where he has family.

Goldwire is in no way reticent about his ambition. “I’m looking to be a millionaire one day,” he states. “I plan on being the first Goldwire to have a million dollars so I can leave something for my kids to pass •>n to their kids, so we will always have money in the family." Goldwire has two children, daugh ter I^A'Nitta, 11, and son, Quincy, age nine, who has asked what his father is going to name after him Goldwire says he’s working on that Goldwire is employed by Colwell Mortgage Corporation as an account representative.
