Blue Ridge Prep Services began because of the thing that is most near and dear to our hearts, our daughter, Lenna. As the owners, Blake and Tasia Whilden, we had talked from the start of our relationship about one day creating a company, but we had no idea it would be a prep center. Doing this opened up so many possibilities and flexibility to spend more time together as a family.

While Tasia was on maternity leave she was given the opportunity to provide prep services for a local Amazon seller. We all joked about her not going back to her normal job after maternity leave and prepping full time, but little did we know what the future would hold. After Tasia returned to her normal job and found herself stressing over childcare, she quickly realized how deep her desire was to stay at home with our daughter. We did begin selling on Amazon ourselves and then shifted gears when we realized how big of a need there was for prep centers. We both also have a passion for helping people and quickly realized how this opportunity would help others grow their businesses and make everyone’s dreams come true at the same time. Many nights were spent staying up working on bringing our dream of opening a prep center to life, with the sole focus being to help others grow their business. When you trust God, He works in amazing ways. That is exactly what we did. We have grown so much in the past few years since starting in our duplex dining room, to our garage and living room of our house. We now have a dedicated warehouse with plenty of space and are able to employ various people to include single moms and people with medical conditions that need flexibility.
