Ouch.
That's the sound of the growing pains that we have been going through recently at OAR.
Growing pains are a very good sign. It means that people are finding us, consigning with us, shopping with us.
Our doors have been open for almost seven months now, and we have the ability to expand back, but it is still too soon.
In only seven months OAR has begun to find its footing, and has moved from predictably losing money each month, to breaking even, to actually making a (small) profit.
We have our community to thank for that, and we are extremely gratified that people have embraced our outdoor gear consignment store.
Until we feel certain of OAR's ability to consistently move in a positive direction financially, our creativity will continue to be challenged.
Where to put stuff? Where to put stuff?
I headed over to Powell this morning to pick up another clothes rack.
Where to put it? Where to put it?
Somehow (even when you think there is NO ROOM LEFT), you find room!
