Today the company has 73 It recently opened up a retail location in northern Michigan's Bay Harbor. It's also in the process of moving from its 17,000-square-foot space to one that measures in at 40,000 square feet.

Macprofessionals specializes in everything Apple, ranging from iMacs to iPads and all of the cool gadgets Steve Jobs has introduced in between. It resells Apple products at its Bay Harbor location, far away from the nearest Apple store, and teaches people about the line and how to integrate it.

She expects to continue the company's double-digit growth with another 25-35 percent revenue increase over the next year. That should lead to another 20-30 hires as the company expands further into the Michigan market and into the Illinois and Wisconsin markets.
