Re: Starting a brick and mortar
I appoligize if I hurt some feelings, it was not the intentions. My reference is to understand our type of shop we are looking for. We live in a town of about 50k and the only place to buy "premiums" is at a Smoker Friendly that is in the seedy part of town.
Yes, I absolutely think there has been a de-emphasis of the gentleman in our American culture, especially in I'm ok you're ok groups. Hey, I wear T-shirts and cargos too, but, they should not be your first choice out to eat and especially to church.
Why would I want to do a business deal with someone who does not care about appearance in any way.
Anywho, the guys I know will not even go to the one place in town due to the clientele that hang out there and my buddy and I do go go there minimum once a week in the winter for a mini herf because they do have a decent lounge that no one really uses.
Our idea would be to reach the other half that are missing out. The sticks would be our enjoyment and the others stuff to suplement.
And on the rvs. Heartland rv is probably the most solid manufacturer with Open Range / Highland ridge being a close second. Otherwise they are mostly the same using the same parts. 95% of owning an rv is your dealer you buy it from and how well they stand behind the product they sell. As the Warranty Manager I can tell you those two company's I mentioned back their product and what they don't we do as long as it's not absurd neglect. I pay a lot of claims for people on things that are not covered and that's what keeps us in business. Hell, we even do a lot of other dealerships warranty because they suck and won't help out their own.
