Last December we moved our store to West Boylston.  Although we were in Worcester for almost 15 years it was a welcomed move.

Here’s why-

  1. It gave us a chance to purge.  15 years being in one spot… well let’s just say there were a lot of corners we didn’t realize we had.  Lot’s of little stuff here and there.
  2. Moving to a new location gave us a fresh start.  Have you ever moved and felt like it was a new beginning?  Well that was us.  Great location, great building, great high traffic area.
  3. We re-branded ourselves. Our logo hasn’t changed but we decided that being a little more corporate looking would be better suited for us so our showroom reflects it.
  4. New offices and more space.  Because we had to rehab the building before we moved in we were able to put up walls and designate space the way we wanted it to be.
  5. Lower ceilings, insulation and less lights.  The cost savings moving from Worcester to West Boylston was enormous.  Thousands of dollars a month between rent, insurance, electricity, gas.  It made us wonder why we didn’t do it sooner?
  6. Light.  Our new building has a lot more natural light coming in.  What more can you say about that?  Yay for vitamin D especially in New England.
  7.  Better exposure.  Our parking lot is a easier and safer to get in and out.  We’re in a commercial area so the traffic is much greater.

Now for the down falls-

  1. Honestly I really can’t think of one………. oh wait yes I can.  My obsession with a now follow me closely on this…
    Peanut butter, chocolate, cream and sugar jumbo ice coffee from Gourmet Donuts across the street…
    Lord help me.  If you ever want to know how to sweet talk me? That’s it.

Sometimes change can be scary or unnerving… What I know is sure it was all that but one of the best decisions my partner and I made for our business.
