With a sad heart, I wanted to confirm to all that G's Good Ol Dayz will REMAIN closed for the remainder of the 2020 year. Given that the business had officially been opened for approximately six weeks before Covid-19 hit and government mandates were established, this decision was not an easy one to make. Additionally, with the UNREST and TURMOIL in our country (looting, rioting, protesting, etc.) along with being considered a Non-Essential business, I needed to consider and weigh all options - (overheard costs to remain open vs. loss of profits and the UNKNOWN of what still remains for 2020). I understand the need for the economy to re-open, however I have a “PERSONAL OBLIGATION” to insure the interest and safety of the business, employees, vendors, and customers. I would be SELFISH if I allowed my WANTS to come before the NEEDS at this current time just because of the bottom dollar.
To my vendors - I wholeheartedly apologize that such a SHORT time was shared in the opportunity to rent space, however, picking up your merchandise will give you the opportunity to vend elsewhere and continue to your ability to profit with other venues, along with removing all liability should something outside of my control occur (rioting, looting or theft at the store during this closure time). All of you should have received a personal phone call today and all merchandise needs to be removed from the premises by July 31, 2020.
To my customers – Thank you for the compliments of the remodel of the store which took almost a year to prepare, the “regulars” that came in every week and sharing ideas of what you were looking for. I do not believe that this is the END of the road for this business and am looking at alternatives to seek other methods of still purchasing and selling rare and unique antique collectibles.
Lastly – please continue the path of safety, staying healthy and following the guidelines as set forth. Take care of yourself, family and friends, care and love one another, unite in peaceful protests and speak YOUR VOICE for change to become ONE AMERICA and not AMERICA DIVIDED as we know it today. We ARE ALL in this TOGETHER.
Thank you,
Glenie Mathues (Owner of G’s Good Ol Dayz)
