First a quick introduction...
My name is Rob and I have been vaping for almost a year now. For about 5 years I have been searching for something that interests me enough to make the investment of time, money and risk for the outcome of a viable business from which I can make a living from. As luck would have it, as ecigs has made it possible for me to close the door on the habit of smoking, it has also opened the door of my dream of owning my own business.
So a long story short, my younger sister and I have partnered up to open a brick and mortar vape shop and lounge in Roslyn, PA. Our goal is to guide as many people as possible in their journey of vaping. Personally I spent a lot of time and money in this past year learning as much as I could. Purchasing as many products as possible for the purpose of learning the ins and outs of each piece of hardware and which has the best value to me as a vaper. I've watched countless videos and read endless forums, as I'm sure many of you reading this have as well. There was not a local shop for me to go to and check out in person, all these things I would see online. So buying and trying was my only option. For anyone interested in ecigs, I hope to streamline the experience of being introduced to vaping and also help each customer get the products that suits them as their vaping needs grow.
Now on to the topic for which this thread was started: I thought I would post the progress leading up to opening day, which is still TBD.
After an exhaustive 2 month search, we finally found a suitable location. Our lease began 5/1. Our first 2 months of rent are waived to assist with the fit out. Here is a picture of the outside as it sits now:
This past week we have sent our architect a concept of the fit out He will be making us a floor plan design, and after everything is ironed out, we will be submitting the floorplan to a few contractors we have been in communication with. Here is the floorplan concept:
And that is all I have for now. Needless to say, it has been and is going to be a busy couple of months. Especially given the fact that I am also relocating back to Roslyn from Baltimore at the end of this month. Fun times!
Well its been a late night for me here... Happy Mothers day for all you Moms out there! I'll check in again soon...
