Seven Year Anniversary August 15, 2013

Every August I remember that day in 2006 when we opened the door to our first customers!   I was a nervous wreck, never having operated a cash register before and only a few days practice!  Making change is not one of my favorite things to do, but I do enjoy meeting and greeting everyone and seeing smiling faces!

For those of you long-time customers, maybe you remember what the store used to look like back in those early days.

 

 

 

Over the years, we found out nobody likes to buy the newspaper.....or if they do, they like to buy one and take the rest for the coupons.  So we no longer offer any newspapers outside or inside the store. 

 

In 2010, we tried to spruce up the front of the store with a knee-wall and windows.  This offers a little bit more protection from the weather, the noise of traffic, and the glare of the sun.    After that we added some fencing too.  Then came the feed shed and the food cart.  The parking lot is getting smaller!  

 

Maybe someday there will be plans for expansion.  Meanwhile, thank you for shopping in the tiny store in Homer!   You are the reason we are here!
