Her business mindset and tenacity led her to opening her first store, Mama Mia, a high-end maternity store located in Fargo, ND in 2006. Shortly after, she developed and opened MODE a designer outlet store located next to Mama Mia. In 2008, Ciara chose to merge her two concepts into MODE and has successfully developed the concept into a thriving franchise. Stockeland now serves as the COO of MODE and under her leadership has successfully expanded MODE to 12 locations across the Midwest and South Carolina with more on the way.

In 2015, she had the opportunity to testify before the U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee regarding the joint employer standard for businesses and its effect on small businesses and franchises. The following day, she represented small businesses at a White House Summit on Worker Voice. And in 2016, Ciara testified before the Senate Small Business Committee again on the negative effects of the joint employer standard.

Ciara strives to motivate women to dream big and take risks in all areas of their lives and truly believes in the role of mentors. She was recognized by Prairie Business Magazine in 2015 as a recipient of the 40 under 40 for her leadership in business.
