So How Did We Do It ?
Step 1
How It Started
It began with a typical conversation with our high schooler about what he wanted to do with his life. Unsurprisingly, the answer was Art.
That turned into a brainstorming session about how to pay the bills with art. Which evolved into owning a paint your own pottery store.
Step 2
Preperation
After months of research, phone calls, classes, business seminars, calculations and several revisions, we were able to put together a solid business plan and secure a SBA loan!
We even traveled out of state for the best training possible !
Step 3
The Search
There are many retail storefront options in Pembroke Pines. Finding the right fit was very important to us. We looked at way too many shops and negotiated with several different landlords.
The search for a studio continued for what felt like forever! But we had finally found the potential we were looking for.
Step 4
RENO !
We tore the place to shreds and rebuilt it all ourselves, to match the look and feel that we go for today. From the floors, to the shelves, to the electrical.
Lots of sweat and splinters I tell ya
Step 5
The Final Touches
Some Social Media Work, nabbing inventory, decorating for the Grand Opening, and a Congratulatory Celebration was all that was truly left.
We really just needed customers at that point lol.
