Location, location, location......a lesson Glen and I know well......but, sometimes places don't end up what they seem. Every morning for six months I woke up thinking about the space we are packing up and leaving on Cookman Avenue. It seems whatever was driving me has left and drove us to this new space on the ocean in Asbury Park. I do love this building. It was built during the twenties........the back of the building is actually over the ocean. It was designed by the same Architect who designed Union Station in New York City.
Last Sunday we actually had dinner at Aqua and could watch our store......we took turns helping customers. When I first saw the posters above the stores I wished Southside Johnny was above my store........but, we did get to see him perform on Sunday and I am over it. Can't wait for his concert at the Stone Pony on 4th of July weekend.
This is our store before.......and this is the store after..........
It is still a work in progress..........
This is a picture of one of the displays. Since, we make most of our inventory we have been very busy making clocks, bowls, bookends, scrapbooks and greeting cards.............starting Memorial Day weekend we will be open everyday from 10-9 and on weekends......10-10. So, this was about the first lesson relearned in business. LOCATION is more important then anything!!!!!! Next post will be about branding.
