Getting Closer to bailing out
I have a nearby friendly basement competitor that may buy my business &
building. He needs a new place, and the timing seems perfect. A few factors are my worsening arthritis. The state of the industry. The real estate market. I'm a bit young to retire this early, but I'm looking forward to possilbly doing some consulting. I've had others ask me for my unique perspectives and methods of increasing profits. Class structuring, pricing and selling work, perceived value, smarter designing, finding new sources of business. With 25 years of success in SG, maybe I'll help teach others how to make money, for the price of a plane ticket plus expenses. Hey I can be the American version of D. Brady! If not I can still sell comic books and junk on Ebay! -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |

Stained glass work would be difficult with a problem with that. Good luck, Michael |

One of the few remaining SG stores in the metro ATL area told me yesterday that they are wanting to sell out. |

One of the few remaining SG stores in the metro ATL area told me yesterday that they are wanting to sell out. I've been lucky enough to keep dodging bullets, (Mexican & Chinese imports, net sellers, etc), and skating around all the various challenges over the years. With all the re-inventing I've done, retailing is the single toughest. It can be done, but you need the right location at the right overhead to make any money. My potential buyer won't be doing retail. He has his own 25 year old client list to keep him busy. I'm just turning everything over to him including the phone number. It's really amazing but in my local 20 mile area of over 6 million, there's only a few stores left. -- JK Sinrod www.SinrodStudios.com www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |
