Kevin just agreed to take over the model train store he's worked at,on and off,for the last 12 years! Long story short. The lady who owned it originally had a combination model train and beading store. Because of health reasons, she needed to get out from under the train side. She sub-let it to an older gentleman(Conrad) who turns out, knows doodle squat about running a retail business and even less about trains. That was about 5 months ago. He has now decided he wants out. Poor Jeanne was beside herself because that's another $750 a month that she has to scrape up. She told us a man came in and offered Conrad $.25 on the $1.00 for his inventory and then he'd sell it on Ebay. Kevin found out about it today when he went into work. He called Conrad and said "Why not keep it in the family?" Conrad said, consider it a deal!! He doesn't want any money up front. He's going through a messy divorce and bankruptcy at the moment and doesn't want any cash in his accounts.
So, we are going to be changing the name from "Grandpa's Trains and Things" to "Grumpy's Train Shop/Store"
Wish us luck!!!
As a collector of O and G scale trains........Hope you guys do Great Things !!! Best of Luck with the new Business !!!!
