Day After Moving Out of Antique Store, Part 1

As I mentioned in several comments on the moving out of the antique store post, I woke up the following morning refreshed and renewed. The drama was gone and I felt SO GOOD about it!! I had some errands to run in town and one was the local drug store. It is a privately owned business by a local family. The owner is the original pharmacist, but they also have a son who is a pharmacist there and a couple more on the staff. I haven't seen the son in there in awhile and he was there. I had been waiting to catch him to ask him about adding some of my Farmasi products (side gig) to their consignment room. We have meal replacement shakes that they do not carry. This would be a nice addition to offer their customers. We also have Collagen supplements in several different forms. We had a nice conversation and he thought the meal replacement shakes would be a great addition. His mother, who is the bookkeeper will call me to set up a meeting. She only works one day each week. That was a nice perk up after getting out of the stressful and toxic environment at the antique store! Photo Credit: Pixabay, Public Domain

Yes, I got a standing display, but need to put some more things there. I want to add the Sun Care line, those guys fishing may need that!! I think I can pull at least one of each from the other boutique. I thought I had more here at the house, but didn't find them. I need to get this stuff all better organized again!

@LadyDuck True!! These guys may just go with the flow here since we live in rural country area. We will see. Won't hurt to try to educate them!

I'm sure that was a huge load off your back getting out of that toxic situation. And I hope that good things come from your meeting with the bookkeeper!

When you are in the right place, or out of the wrong place, your body will know it and so will your mind. You have good merchandising ideas. People should listen.

@kaylachan Thank you!! I may be biting off more than I can chew, but being right here in our little town can't be that hard to keep up with!

I think it will! Not sure about how much traffic will go through there, but it should pick up. I know I will help her with marketing!

@kareng When one door closes another opens up. It sounds like you had a productive day. You made the right choice in leaving the antique place.

It won't be any loss if it doesn't. But I think our little town will embrace this new store.

Looks like you still have a strong side-hustle game!

The owner sounds very hand's on and should be good at sales! I can't wait until they have their grand opening!
