Decisions, Decisions!!!
So here is a picture of the Front of the Building my little shoppe is in at 813 Sutter St. (down the hall)
I have no front sign, as we all had to take down back in August.. (Yes, making business a bit challenging) |
Here is the street view, many old beautiful Historic Buildings, with such interesting stories behind them.
Here is the Hallway, a Picture as you look down inside my building, there are Five of us in the building.
I'm on the Right side-
There is a Rug Cleaning/Gift shop on left, a Music Store in the back, a Lighting Palace in the front and then the Old Barber shop next to me.
An Opportunity has come up for me to Move.
A friend is offering me a chance to (Sub Lease) this place ( A Front shop on the main Sutter Street, with 2 front windows, with front easy parking for customers, in which i just lost at my current place, with the revitalization.
So while it is not next to the Hopping (Sutter Street Grill) the best breakfast place in town -It is across the street from the Best Pizza Place Chicago Fire and diagonal from the BEST Mexican food in town (Hacienda)..
So scary to move, or take a risk or chance. This new location does not have as much walk by traffic, But has Excellent parking & hopefully more visibility for me with the an Amazing Store Front.
I'm Hoping my LOVE for what i do, and My Enthusiasm will carry to my New Front location as well.
I'll have 2 good friends with me, A Super Smart Creative Marketing Gal, & an Interior Designer who both have an amzing eye-gift for Retail,
allowing more time to work on pieces, and a Saturday or two to go spend time with my family, in which i totally lost when going out on my own.
TO have a Sign on the Front of A Building saying
(Gracefully Vintage)
611 Sutter St.
(SUPER Exciting)!!!!
(The building will be painted a beige color,with black trim, a black awning will be added, a front stone walkway and bench as well as trees & Old fashion Black light post out front and a full glass door, within the next month)
I know hard to imagine,with the dirt,bright colors/
But if you could only envision what i can, I see something totally different..
Stay Tuned as the BIG move will be done by Dec 1st just in time for Historic Folsom's Big Tree lighting & Christmas Faire Dec. 4.5th
Sounds like this is a busy and exciting time!! I wish you the best of luck on your move! Wish I were closer to come and shop!
