New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
Meet Trevor Carter, 30-year-old business manager of Carter’s Clothing and Footwear.
Trevor has always been involved in his family’s business as long as he could remember, starting to work at the business at the age of 11. Carter’s Clothing was opened by his grandfather, William “Bill” carter in 1947, which began as an army surplus store that became a sporting good store and is today the supplier of sneakers and clothing to consumers in Downtown New Bedford.
After high school, Trevor attended BCC and graduated with an associates degree in Business Management, all while taking over the responsibilities as store manager of his father’s business. It is important for him to be apart of the hard work that his family has invested in their company, as they have become a name that people could trust.
He enjoys that he is in the heart of the city, as he gets to be apart of the rich and cultural experience, all while meeting people from different socio-economic backgrounds. Trevor actually hopes to see more retail stores open in the downtown area, as it would create healthier competition in the market and drive more people down there to shop.
“With the transformation I have seen in the past 19 years..I can’t imagine what I’m gonna see in the next 19 years.”
