I am very excited! As you know we have a flooring store in town and the building is huge. We have our tile and hardwood showrooms, then our warehouse/storage. In the back is a shop where Dan has opened up an auto shop in his spare time where he builds those big boom boom stereo thingys and does truck detailing at night and on weekends. Then, we still have an extra empty room left over which has carpet and its own separate storefront entrance which is a pretty big size and that store is now mine! I'll be able to run both business back and forth since the stores are connected and just separated by adjoining doors. The fun part is also there is a very large chain link fenced in yard in the back where we park the trucks where Amy loves to play right out my back door so now she will be coming to work with me every day. I also get to set my own days and hours so my horses won't get neglected!
I am going to attempt to make it into a consignment shop for gently used horsey items. There is no where any more around where anyone can buy a saddle or tack new or used. This is a rather poor area but there are loads of horses and riders and local shows that still need tack and things and I thought this could benefit our local horsey community and my piggy bank at the same time. I am going to have gently used saddles and bridles, show clothing, boots, hats, stable blankets, sheets, and maybe even a bucket or two. I won't accept any junk. I"ve already put flyers around at some local stables and have quite a few things coming in this weekend to get me started. I'm nervous! I"ve been scurrying around getting some clothing racks together and getting the guys to build me some quicky saddle racks. Since people ride horses in town, they can ride right on over and bring their horse into the fenced area to try on saddles etc. I'll be keeping treats for all the horses that stop by.
Now I need a name! I'd like a name that denotes the business, what I have inside.
I"m not very orignial and all I could come up with is
Saddle Up Again
I've love to hear any of your ideas for a name for my little store and also any ideas to help my store become a success! Thanks so much!
