Well, as you can see it has been a while since I made our last blog entry.  What a hectic couple of months it has been!  As many of you know, we purchased the Hearth and Home Shoppe in Mechanicsville, Va in late February.  We have been spending the past couple of months learning lots about the business and the industry as well as getting to know the great group of employees we have. 

The Hearth and Home Shoppe (www.HearthandHomeShoppe.com) is a specialty retailer of gas, electric, wood and pellet stoves, fireplaces, fireplace inserts and gas logs.  We also sell grills and outdoor kitchens.  In addition to the retail side of the business, we also have a service department as we install and service all of the hearth products that we sell.  It's a great business that has been around for about 25 years and we are blessed to have the opportunity to be the new owners.  So stop by and visit us at 8154 Mechanicsville Tpk by the windmill.

I am spending most of my time at the Shoppe and Mark is handling the outside marketing.  We are both still very active in the coaching business and I am looking forward to making blog entries that combine The Growth Coach Strategic Mindset coaching concepts to everyday Shoppe life.   

Come Feel the Fire!
