"I have young children, and it helps me to live inside of my personality more after motherhood. So I feel more colorful, and I feel pretty cool in my little school bus," Chuparkoff said.

Chuparkoff encourages other small business owners to seek innovative ways to create mobile shops that suit their needs.
