That beacon of truth and journalistic inquiry know as the Roanoke Times just published a feature on the the Pickin' Porch's best kept secret; it's for sale! I have admittedly not tried very hard to advertise this fact, much to my wife's chagrin. However, since ace reporter, Amy Matzke broke the story on Wednesday, August 12th, a veritable flood of inquiries and potential buyers has begun lining up all the way to the Country Store!
Here's a reprint of what I sent out in my last email newsletter regarding the Pickin' Porch's status.THE RUMOR MILL
I have fielded numerous inquiries regarding the sale of my store, the Pickin' Porch. Here are the most frequent offenders along with the reality check!
Rumor: The store is closing.
Reality: Absolutely not! While rising gas prices, falling home values and general bad news about the economy has claimed a few local businesses, the Pickin' Porch continues to thrive and survive! We are maintaining and enlarging our inventory of musical instruments, instructional books and DVDs, and music supplies. If you haven't been by in awhile stop by and say howdy!
Rumor: I'm selling the store and moving to Europe.
Reality: You wish! Heck, I wish! The Pickin' Porch is for sale so I can concentrate on my hefty load of guitar students, my obligations as a husband and father, and maintain my 40 acre homestead in Check. Oh yeah, whatever time I have left will be dedicated to becoming a better guitar player and resurrecting my performance career.
SO WHAT'S THE DEAL?
Option 1: Purchase the store's inventory at cost (actually last year's cost less shipping), and open elsewhere. All furniture, fixtures and displays ($2500 worth), included free.
Option 2: Purchase store's inventory as above and the business name, logos, dealerships. Additionally I'll be available as a Consultant for 1 year.
Option 3: "The Whole Enchillada!" Same as option 2 but purchase building, too. Have access to Town of Floyd without the town taxes and zoning!
The Pickin' Porch is a successful and unique acoustic music store located just outside the bustling musical burg of Floyd, VA. We cater to the needs of our community and they respond by supporting us! We also enjoy meeting all the folks visiting Floyd as they travel the Crooked Road. The store has appeared in multiple national publications including "Every Day with Rachel Ray" magazine, "the Washington Post" and most recently in the May edition of "Motor Home" magazine.
