All Sports...

Some of you know that Ras and I have partnered up with a two other couples to start our own business in the town where we live. All Sports Consignment is our store that will run off the same principle as a Play it Again Sports. This is not a franchise though, we are going on our own with this one. It is pretty exciting to see the progress being made. We signed the lease on a 3000 square foot building and are now involved in the build out. We purchased shelving from a Boaters World store that is closing in Pensacola and we have been up at the store sanding, painting, etc. for the last week. It has been pretty crazy. The signs for the store were installed yesterday and look sweet. We are taking consignment starting next week and the store officially opens August 3. We plan on having a grand opening and are trying to get some local sports guys to come over for the day. For all you Tigers fans, we are trying to get Travis Fryman as he only lives a few miles out of town.

I will update the blog more often in the future, but here are some photos of before and after shots of the build out.

Before shot of the nasty color scheme of the old place. It was a sandwich place and a religious bookstore previously. Lord loves sporting goods.

I forgot to take a picture, but in the corner under the white coat of Killz primer was a mural of Noah's Ark. It will now be the area to test putters.

Behind this counter is where the girls will sit in their skimpy All Sports uniforms, sipping on Starbucks.

The front of the store is all windows. Nice. The kids have been jumping around on the hippity-hops while we have been working.

Under the slat boards for displaying inventory, I threw the names up of the three families representing All Sports ownership.

Slat board walls installed.
