Proposed New Location, Focus Shift for the Business

EDIT: it has come to my attention that some people actually think this is a real post. It’s an April Fool, dudes. Please enjoy it even more by following the links. Only one of them makes any noise, and it’s labelled on the mouse-over. Sorry for any confusion, but hey. I do links to take these posts to a deeper level, and if you don’t ever follow them, it’s not my fault if there’s some miscommunication! Besides, the post is clearly tagged “aprilfool”… so I guess I gotcha! Ha!! 😛

 

We’ve been looking around at potential areas for our expected relocation in 18 months, and we think that this building in northwest Oklahoma City might just fit our needs.

Love's Corporate Offices

We’re thinking of buying this building for our new location.

As you can see, it’s a rather sizeable structure. So, in order to maximize the space, I’ve been consulting with a few possible partners, some compatible other businesses that might go in here with me.

What we’re thinking is to put a luxury spa in part of the building. Separate facilities for men, women, and children, so that Mom or Dad can drop off the kids and everyone can enjoy a mani-pedi, massage, or facial and some quality pampering. In the case of babies, actual Pampering, if the need arises. We’ve also discussed some “couples only” evenings, and special classes for teens to learn proper skin care and destressing techniques.

We’re also looking at a night club on the top floor, maybe a retro “54” style, which we think will do very well in this part of the city. During the day you can pop in for espresso and smoothies in the juice bar after your workout in the health club on the second floor.

Of course Once Upon A Silver Moon will still have its retail store on the ground floor. We’re looking into carrying a lot more books, especially Bibles. Our new location might also do well with some music, so I’ve contacted Sparrow and Reunion for some demos to play in the store until we can get maybe some Sandi Patti or Michael W. Smith on the shelves.

The rest of the space will be available for rent to individuals or small businesses.

Looking forward to our expansion, and our new business relationship with our new partners: James Daniels, Capt. Henry Morgan, James Beam, and Rev. “Cutty” Sark.

Trade Show Visit and NEW Playing Card Order

I recently attended the Halloween and Party Expo in Houston (as well as HauntCon, which was held simultaneously in the same building). I was able to justify this luxury by attending their excellent business seminars, where I learned lots of very useful administrative stuff.

But like any good retailer I spent many hours on the trade show floor, shopping around for useful things and potential merchandise for the store. Alex Blue came along too. She’s quite a good assistant.

With a clipboard and a cup of coffee, people will always know you’re in charge.

One of the first booths I visited was that of the U.S. Playing Card Company. I was lured over by their specialty deck display and, seeing how many of their playing cards would be an excellent fit for our shop, promptly placed an order. All of these are your standard 52-card poker decks, which can be used for divination if you know how to read them (here’s another tutorial), but can also be used for games like poker, spades, slapjack etc.
