The GRAND OPENING is underway!

Welcome back to my Building a Business From Scratch series. Today we've got something pretty special happening at the new store — a real local radio station is broadcasting LIVE TO AIR right from inside the shop!

And it's working!

We've had an incredibly busy afternoon, not only with sales, but with people simply walking through the doors to see what we've built. I'm estimating 40–50 people we've never met before have stopped by, looked around, talked with us and welcomed the business to Merritt.

We've got food out, people coming and going, the radio guys talking about the store, and we're even getting into some of the products we carry — including Gundam model kits imported from Japan.

What started with a damaged, empty storefront is finally becoming what I envisioned: a place where people can buy games, discover something new, hang out and actually interact with their community.

This is exactly why I wanted to document the entire process.

From cleaning and repairing the building, installing floors and shelving, stocking the store, opening Rosie's Filipino Food Mart, putting up the signs — and now having a LIVE RADIO BROADCAST for our grand opening.

For anyone thinking about opening a small business, don't underestimate the power of local advertising and community involvement, especially in a smaller town.

Thanks to everyone in Merritt who came down and supported us!

Building a Business From Scratch continues!
