Growing up I always wanted to marry a girl from my neighborhood.
I feel that where you come from, plays a big part in who you become.
I met Linda Sue in April 2016, and we clicked immediately.
She grew up just a few streets down from me; although somehow,
we never crossed paths as children.
I feel it was fate holding on for the right time, which happened to be
20 years later.
:-D
Linda had a 5 year old son named Dylan, and I had a 2 year old son named Wesley. They quickly became best friends first, and eventually Brothers. We were madly in love. and things seemed to fit together perfectly.
Near the end of 2016 I had started following an unbeknownst passion of mine, collecting, fixing, reconditioning, and reselling STUFF. I introduced Linda to the idea, and she was down for the ride! Before we knew it, we were stacking to the ceiling, and customers were calling us left and right to sell their furniture on consignment. Business was good, but there was one. small. problem... it wasn't a business....YET, and we didn't even have a name.
I've always been proud to be from Des Moines, so if I was going to build a company like this, I would want people to know where we are from.
"Put it right in the name!".....
Des Moines....garage salers?
No.... that doesn't sound right....
Des... Moines... Pickers?....
No....
Des Moines...Treasure....Hunters?
Perfect!!!
A company was born and the perfect slogan soon followed...
" We be garage sailin' "
(You HAVE TO say it in your pirate voice)
Linda and I could never thank our loyal customers enough, and all the people along the way who helped us make it all possible.
THATS OUR STORY!
(TO BE CONTINUED............. OF COURSE!!!)
