I just had an interesting conversation with someone coming in to see, ...whats going on.... We talked a while and shared the nightmare of shops and stores coming and going in this location. I said that wont be a problem this time. I own the buildings and I wont shut the doors, I will just keep changing the product till I find something that can sustain the business. Now that can take on many colors. I can keep it a nice, quaint country store within a few minutes time of the local populace, or I can make it into another one of many used car stops, repair shops, tire stores, or even a scrap yard at some point. Im pretty sure those scrap yards on Dort Highway are doing well. But thats just it. I didnt want to do that. I wanted to give this area an opportunity to have something different. Something special they can bring that special friend to, sip on a fresh cup of coffee, listen to the Holiday music and find a unique qift, complete with wrapping, a gift bag, or a fresh floral gift from a very renowned local floral designer. Something different, inexpensive.. Something Special. So, to reply to anyone else who takes the time to come to my store, or to read this post.. We all have choices. We can live in an area surrounded by repair shops, junkyards, boarded up buildings, or another car salesman in a black shirt and white tie....saying, How ken I hep ya litl lady. Or we can develop this area to have quaint gift shops, clothing stores, specialty shops, bakeries, nicer restaurants, etc... This is one of those Democratic things we always talk about. If you shop here, that is your vote. If you dont vote, you dont get to decide. Its really is up to you how you want your town to look, act, and feel. Shopping your local shops and stores is your voice. Peace and Goodwill. Merry Christmas. Please shop your local small business. We live in your community too.
