Music Week in Yarmouth

gatorbyte — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:07:55 +0000

Despite all the hubbub over the event, and the down town “planners” requesting that we stay open longer than normal hours in order to accommodate all the extra people who would surely be in town, we noticed hardly any extra business during the music week festivities. I’m sure the restaurants and hotels did much [...]

New Phone

gatorbyte — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:49:28 +0000

My old phone served me well, had it for about 5 years and while it does still work, the screens on it are kinda messed up. I have to keep taking the battery out in order to reset them if I want to be able to see the call display or the number I’m [...]

So it’s Remembrance Day tomorrow.. and the music week came and gone. Did you attend any of the shows? We didn’t coz’ we had to be open for business.. and it had been a busy week for us.. not from the Music Fest .. but regular customers.. with lots of computer work to [...]

Parade Street Or Collins Street

gatorbyte — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:23:11 +0000

Someone was in the store the other day.. and asked my view regarding Th ‘Yarc and the present debate and fiasco that is going on .. about whether it should be on Parade Street or Collins Street? Who do I support? I’m an inside outsider and really I cannot give my comments nor [...]

Nova Scotia Music Week

gatorbyte — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:23:43 +0000

So the Nova Scotia Week begins this week, are you all ready for it? did you buy tickets for the shows yet ? I heard the festival wristbands are the way to go. Definitely cheaper than my wrinkle cream.. hahah!! and being such a huge event, as a local business we must [...]

Vandalism

gatorbyte — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 16:25:54 +0000

I was shocked and disheartened when I went by the hair place just a few doors away from our store and saw this. No this is not my store, no this is not my business, but I want to let whoever is responsible for this damage know that this is not covered by insurance. [...]

Same Location

gatorbyte — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:25:53 +0000

As many of you must have known, we were debating on relocating to Starrs Road since our lease at this location is up. 2 years in this location .. and another 2 years a few doors away .. gave us like 4 years on Main Street in total with the same landlord. Some [...]

xbox 360 @ $129

gatorbyte — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 02:57:32 +0000

Owning a store like ours, sure has it perks. We do get a good bargain for some pretty cool used stuff like this Chrome version of the xbox 360 and at a very good price too. So while we were looking at GMAT prep courses one afternoon, along came this from a regular [...]

What Happened to Summer?

gatorbyte — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:30:04 +0000

Damn it seems like summer gets shorter every year around here. Middle of October already and it seems to be getting cold fast. So with that in mind I’ve been digging around in the basement here to find stuff to bring up and sell. Since there’s not much room for more upstairs [...]

Lifetime Warranty

gatorbyte — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 02:15:26 +0000

I love what we are doing – I’m proud of the man who owns this store because he always takes care of his customers. Heck! we are so good, we even tell our customers where to get acne treatment one time, when this poor kid can’t get a date because of it. But [...]

Staying Or Moving

gatorbyte — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 03:46:37 +0000

We’ve just received our lease renewal .. from the landlord’s office – time flew, already we are at this location for the last 2 years. We were previously 2 doors away for 2 years – same landlord but bad feng shui at that time for us – so we moved to this new location. [...]

People Who Ripped Us Off

gatorbyte — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 02:06:52 +0000

We just found a new collection agency in Truro which will be taking over our accounts of people who have ripped us off in the last 10 years. This agency has 28 yrs of experience doing what they do best – collecting debts. So if anyone out there who “owes” us money – [...]

Wireless Security Cameras

gatorbyte — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:07:42 +0000

I’m paranoid .. but the boss isn’t .. so when i saw our customer getting these wireless security cameras for his office and warehouse, i just had to get some, not cheap like my diet supplements & medication – but i think it’s worth every penny. Why..?? because i can access and [...]
