Woot! I finally have a store! OMFG, I signed the lease!
Woke up friday morning last week from a phone call. Man on phone is Peter, the guy who I have been trying to rent a space from. Nice location on Main street here in town. Only problem is that he has nothing available in the front of the complex, just a shop in the back. More a warehouse than a retail location. He was willing to let me have my sign on the street, though.
I have been subletting space from a sign company my girlfriend manages. Cold and dark...HUGE too, but not much room for me to work in, plus no signs, etc.
Ask Joey Link, it was freeking cold and huge. Shitty, too, but free.
Peter tells me he has just found out he has a store opening in the front of the complex...small, but nice!
At this point, it is just a warehouse with a bay door and a normal "man door", a bathroom (with heater!) lights and a heater. 50A circuit for 220, concrete floor, etc. 1500 square feet...perfect.
Cheap. Really cheap. Nice condition. Peter tells me he hasn't had an opening in 4 years up front. Can have 4'X8' sign on Main Street. Can build illuminated sign if I want, pole has electricity. Directly across from 4X4 shop, next to big ass tire shop, near the entrance for a sawmill (500+ employees) AND I can be as loud as I wish.
This is a dream in this shithole town. I could just cry.
I am gonna be open in a day or two, and will be doing 2 little jobs today, plus a big job is coming in. ($2500 in a boat that already has a deck) I have been working 12 hours a day getting things done. I have to make a temporary sign, until I can do an illuminated sign.
I get my 3rd stock order today. GF has been working her ass off on QuickBooks, Signs are on the van, walls will be going up shortly.
Gotta build office, benches, miles of pegboard, set up air compressor, lots of shit.
GB on Memphis will be soon...boat is going all Memphis, will post pics of gear.
Sorry for ranting here guys, but I am really excited. Call me if you wanna, phone will be running friday 2/10/06 (or so they say)
