Doug and I have often talked about opening a store. It would be an art gallery first and foremost for his artwork. We would also sell other “home” type things, other art such as garden art, music, wine—general stuff that would have more of a draw than a typical art gallery alone might have. It’s been more than something we’ve talked about, it’s really been a plan.
Well—that plan may turn into a reality MUCH faster than we ever imagined.
There is an art gallery in Monument, a perfect location. I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve driven by it and I’ve said, “THAT is the perfect location, but they got it first.” Well they are retiring. After thirty years in business, they’re retiring. They actually own the building and have made a nice life for themselves and their family, and now want to spend more time traveling and enjoying their family. It is a husband and wife team, he’s the artist (sculpture), she’s the business person. There are other artists in the gallery, with work on consignment.
Things will move quickly if we continue to move forward with this. We’re in the midst of negotiating, due diligence, all of that. Check back in two weeks. We may be gallery owners.
