More than just signs
Family Business, my parents started a small business 28 years ago. Wood working/crafts. From there, many things have changed and we do many, many things at our store/shop. I hope this isn't too long.
We do and have done.
Woodworking, small to medium, cutting little things to building cabinets etc.
Yard signs from wood, cut designs, hand painted, (this is the evenings and weekend part of my job now)
Because I was in band and there was a demand for marching supplies, my mother supplied the necessities because there was not really a place to buy without driving 100 miles to get them. (We still sell band shoes, twirling supplies etc.) Which led to uniforms, etc. (We now have a dancewear dept.)
My parents have bought out 3 other small businesses that couldn't seem to make go of it, and from there, one we started custom framing, (pictures etc.)So we do custom framing also, which is a great business all in itself. second was a dancewear shop that had no one to pass on their legacy to, and we already sold many brands, but we bought this one stores supplies and now have a great contract with a large dancewear distributor, that has very strict ideas as to how many stores can sell their product within 150 miles of each other. third was another craft shop, mainly supplies.
Signage started when hand lettering all of the yard signs started taking up toooooooo much time. The lettering led to decals, and the decals led to fundraisers for the schools that we have been doing business with for years, which led to decorating megaphones with vinyl,plasticore signs from 12x18inch to 4ftx8ft, car magnet, shirts for groups, along with many other clothing items that are decorated with heat applied vinyl. So yes, I think we are a full time sign/everything else under the sun shop.
I knew we did a lot, and looking back over this I can say I have left out a lot. Oh, and working on a webpage, I'll post that when I feel a little more comfortable with the way it looks.
So that is who we are.
