Project Description

We (my husband and I) opened our business in our town's up and coming downtown area. Our town square has been dead for decades. Our elderly generation often tells stories about how this area was the place to be when they were young. The ladies will tell you 

they often would buy a new dress with matching shoes, gloves, and a hat just to spend Friday evening downtown. They would go shopping at the various retail stores, eat dinner in one of the establishments, and go see a movie in one of the theaters, but mainly they would just hang out. It was the place to see friends, and catch up for the week (and show off your new dress). We are hoping to be a part of a process that revitalizes this aspect of our town. We have seen a resurgence start to build in this area and we are so excited to help it along. We have seen fellow business people take these empty buildings and make them into a book store, a couple coffee shops, a yoga studio, a sustainable products market, and currently some truly enterprising entrepreneurs are taking a large, old bank building and converting it into an escape room, and an ax throwing place, along with areas for retail space. It's all very exciting for our little midwest community. My business is a record store that we have placed inside of an old funeral home just off of our square. This building is a shared space with 4 other retail areas. Our town lost it's record store, roughly, 15 years ago and we felt that it was time we had another one. Vinyl record sales have been at an all time high since the 1980s, and we have seen a huge flow of excitement and positivity come through our store. We hope that this music vibe helps bring back that old joy of putting on your favorite outfit and going downtown on a Friday.
