support your local store


this has been a hard winter...our store had to replace 2 furnaces and got a huge gas bill...plus the weather has been horrible and money is tight...
not whining here, but stores are hurting too....

so if you have a store you like and you want them to be around try and go buy something from them...the sad fact you can see ..... independant stores are closing all around ...

we could end up in a world with just walmart, big malls and giant big box stores and everything made in china........and we wouldnt want that!!!.....

first off, i'd be out of a job........ a big corporation wouldnt hire me in the first place...they would hate my dress code, they would laugh at most of my inventory ideas..old,neat, outside the box!!.....it would be all made in china,,, crazy ideas and product experiments would have to go thru layers of management first... it would be sooooooo boring.....

i love the independant stores i go to..i love seeing what they come up with.......and i have many many cyber friends with brick and mortar stores who are out there hoping for enough business to keep them viable.......

green oak is fine...so far...if they dont close our highway!! ..our customers have been great...
we have been thru really bad economic times before.....and hope we can get thru this one too..thats our plan!!! .....our local economy is so hurting tho....most of the factories have closed.... the job situation here is not good....
