GP Good Prophets Retail Store now closed.

[dirt2suck]

The GP Retail Store is now closed.


We tried it, and it worked.
But it didnt work out for the GP family.

We helped alot of people from the experienced to the "new to vaping".
We had fun, both ways.

I just decided to devote all my time and energy to online customers,
as many did see that decline in the past months.

For all the retail store customers...
Sorry it ended this way, but orders can still be placed online.
We are offering local pickup for online orders
Mon-Fri 10am-2pm
but at this time, we are unsure how long we will continue with that option.

I've shopped wit you guys before, and always had a good experience. I hope everything works out for you.

You do what you have to, Rob. You'll always have faithful customers and friends

 

[bmwjen]

will I still get what I ordered in the mail last week?

 

[bpaulette]

Sorry to hear man.

It was a bold move, and hats off to you for trying - brick and mortars need a LOT of foot traffic, and this is a pretty niche market. The company I work for would go out of business in two weeks if we relied on local business. On the internet, the whole world is your customer base, and the business hours are 24/7

will I still get what I ordered in the mail last week?

He's just shutting down his walk-in store, not closing down the online operation

Sorry it didn't work out this first time around. Hopefully you'll do extremely well, being pre-experienced, if and when you decide to give it another try. Eventually this won't be such a niche market.

Yes, you will always have us!!

It sorta sucks that a few places including GP had to shut down their retail shop. I think the entire e-cig thing needs to become more popular for the brick & mortar shops to stay afloat. I know the ONLY places i've even found cartos, or anything even close to ecigs here in Houston were at head shops located at least 30 mins away from me.

Always worth trying new avenues, Rob. So glad the online store's here to stay.

Just an update....

We did extremely well.
Actually too well.

I just did this to spend my evenings at home and to keep it simple.
I have too many friends and customers online that I want to keep happy.

GP is actually starting something new that probably would not be possible if
I still had the store open. I wasnt going to hire anyone to fulfil my spot because
I have super high expectations, and as I said before, I didnt want the headache to grow.

We are lowering our prices, putting on more sales, and going to become a Super GP ,,, lol (had to laugh at that one)
but really, it was any bad decision making, not having enough customers or foot traffic, or anything that
didnt make it work, because it did work.
GP Retail was a sucess, and could have grown into a huge thing, as many approched to franchise
but I didnt want any of that.
I want to keep it simple.

 

[dirt2suck]

Yes, the online is here to stay, and become a better place.

Thanks to all for the welcoming back (so to speak)

And I do have you guys, and I wanted to hang with you

I know I appreciate this, as I am sure many others do too!

 

[jeffree]

And still, despite all the news, you managed to get out my order today. Bravo!

 

[dirt2suck]

Phone has been ringing alot today, and mostly when I was on the other line.
Also will be putting up the eGo-T and 510-T on the site
And also working on a few other things....all multitasking. hehe

Family is 1st. I think this is how we all are we need the extra time for the little one's,keeping the clean and working and some good time off for a little big kid play time for that is fishing and skateboarding with some friend's I know I'm 31 going to be 32 on the 14th but skateboarding is my thing and it make's me feel at peace. We all need a little time...

I loved the idea of the shop you do a lot for us vapers Great service and great product's your the one that made me start because of your great flavor's now its going on a year of not smoking and I feel great. I hate to say this but I'm so glad it wasn't the online store. Have a good one Rob summer is coming....

 

[hittman]

Sorry it didn't work out for you Rob but what is good for you is most important.

 

[Dougiestyle]

OMG!! I thought one of my favorite suppliers was going belly-up from the thread title. Thank Gawd you'll still have the interw3bz store!! I'll see ya soon...

 

[Mikkie]

I am actually going to miss the occasional 40min. Drive to your shop! Lol. But I'll gladly give you my business online! All the best to you and the fam!

Rob, as you know, I had a CD music store..........it just became too much..9-9, 6 days a week and then bookkeeping later...was working 9-12..and got sick.....can't keep up with that pace. Eventually, it will hurt ya, family wise, health wise, etc. Good decision on your part, I think! Love ya!

Understand not wanting additional headaches so wishing you luck with the online business. Would not be so forgiving if I could not get the online e juice----love your VG line.
