RIP
We opened our 5th rug cleaning drop off center July 29th and it has so far proven to be good decision. The location is on a major east/west corridor rd (Hall Rd or M-59 for those familiar with Macomb County). It was a county where we didn't have the market share we wanted and customer after customer is telling us they're happy we are thei and they don't have to make the longer drive to one of other centers.
The last 7 days we took in 1049 rugs and the new location was #2 at 241 of those rugs. My wildest hopes were that it would be number 4, ahead of Ann Arbor only. For it to be #2 with no appreciable loss in volume to the others has made me start to think about where the next one should be and how fast we can do it. May wait till spring cause to open another would take at least 60 days with space locating, deal signing, build out etc., and by then it woulod be Novemebr and the season almost over.
