If I Had the Time, I would Open a Record Store in Staunton

If I had the time, I would start a record store in the Queen City Marketplace.
The Queen City Marketplace opens in a few days, and I think a record store would be perfect for the space. I think it would be perfect for Staunton. I think we need a record store.

If I had the time or just a brain big enough to add one more iron to the fire, I would definitely open one. I think it would be awesome to own one, and I think it would make money. Probably, it wouldn't turn enough to live off right away, but I would start it small and grow it slowly.

Here's a link to an article about opening a record store.
Many of the issues opening such a retail effort are circumvented by having it in the Queen City Marketplace. Plus, there is a guy who repairs musical equipment and record players who is taking a space there, and wouldn't it be awesome to share a space with a guy like that? He could even help you hunt down a cheap turntable.

If you live in or near Staunton and want to start a record shop, please let me know.

Queen City Marketplace was on the News!

This was an entertaining adventure in Virginia real estate! I was interviewed by Matt Talhelm at the Queen City Marketplace and was broadcast to thousands and thousands of people. The requests for space are flooding in now, and I can't wait to see the marketplace open.

Here's the link to the text based reporting.

Staunton has a Hooka Bar and MORE!

I really love Staunton's Hooka Bar. You might love it too.

Here's a link to pics taken there recently by our local crack newspaper photographer. I love things like this moving downtown. Some more businesses like this, and various magazine will start crowning Staunton the coolest place in America to live.
We also have an amazingly great cigar store. I like cigars very much. I'm partial to Gurkha Assassins.

Staunton is a happening place that's getting more happening all the time. We just started a Queen City Marketplace Facebook Page. It's in the sidebar of this blog for easy access. It's a great way by which you can have a downtown presence with your new business idea. Contact me if you want some info on how.
