I'd been a blissful purveyor of a local vinyl record store for over a decade. I built it because of my interest in an ever-expanding vinyl collection. My significant other suggested I build a business. I think she was hoping to get those records out of our house. I did this for a long time but around two years ago I came upon the realization that having a small business was no longer what I wanted to do. I put up an ad to sell. getting it done wasn't simple.

My wife suggested hiring a business adviser to assist me. I hoped to circumvent selling to national companies. The new managers, I hoped, would keep the small, local store feeling. Thankfully, the home improvement franchise Detroit MI respected my hopes and after a short time we stumbled upon a wonderful buyer.

Now that it's not my store I still visit as a fan of music. I'm constantly looking for more records, but the problem being my record collection is rapidly growing. Maybe I'll be able to keep it under control this time around.
