I finally opened my coin shop , Bedford Coin & Jewelry

Well, I haven't posted too much in the past couple years but I have been around reading & visiting the site all along. The past 2 months I have been quite busy. As some of you know, I worked for a decent size coin company for nearly the past 7 years. That came to an end on the 1st of May & I went out on my own.

I have started my own shop just over the Michigan border from my hometown of Toledo, OH.I did all the remodel my self , putting countless hours into the place.Buliding walls,painting ,sanding,installing security cameras ,gates & locks ,buliding furniture,moving cases,& the list goes on & on .

Now , a place I can call my own with my own rules & policies .

In Ohio we have sales tax on bullion & numismatic items, in Michigan there is NO sales tax. A nice advantage for me over the competition being so close to the border. If anyone is in the area stop by I'd like to meet any of you & talk coins ,heck even sell you something .

So come by Bedford Coin & Jewelry ,say hello & check it out.

I do have a website (although it is not fully updated ) & a facebook edited if you would care to like it.

Here are a couple pics of my shop.

More display cases ,ect.. will be coming in over the next month.

I should be a bit more active on the forum but if not I hope it is because I'm really busy in the shop.

Way to go Jason, it looks nice. I will have to head down for a visit! I am just outside of Detroit.

Nice shop! It looks very clean and spacious; very eye appealing IMHO. Good luck in the future!

 

That is just too cool my friend. Everything is so neat and clean as well. Nice display cases.

 

Thanks it should be clean considering that this pic is what it looked like 6 weeks ago

& thx for the FB like !

 

Nice!
That's not too far from me, maybe 45 minutes. I'll have to stop by sometime. I have buddies in Toledo that I visit sometimes.

 

I love to hear of someone doing what they wanted to do. Congratulations, the shop looks great.

 

Gratz, and good luck!

I get to Columbus and/or Toledo once a year or so, I'll look you up!

 

That is nice to hear, especially after so many threads discouraging members (and probably rightfully so) from doing exactly what Jason has done. Owning your own B&M might sound like a lot of fun, but I'm sure there's a lot more work, risk factor and cost involved than most of us would want to undertake. Glad to see Budgood taking the "leap"... and I wish him all the luck in the world!

 

Congrats man! Got any US philippine coins?

 

Congratulations Jason, phenomenal job with the remodel. You shouldn't have any problem making a name for yourself. You've done all the required research to become a successful owner. Let us know when you get a website launched, looking forward to seeing your wares.

 

Congrats. Your shop looks very nice based on the photos. Good luck with your new business.

 

It looks great! Best wishes for you!

Chris

 

Looks good! :thumb:

 

I wasn't very clear on that .The website is up ,I just don't have much inventory on it . It's running though . A couple of blog posts , and a couple of items . I'll add to it soon, still tweaking the physical space before the virtual space .

 

Wow Jason! The place looks terrific. Best of luck indeed.........

 

I wish I lived closer :/

 

Wow you did a ton of work! Place looks great, if I'm ever in the area I will make it a point to stop by. Inventory looks great too, at least what I can see of it. good luck!! :thumb:

I know, I know! Have a grand opening contest. Heck you can even have one on here, I guess. I meant have something out in your area to get people in the door. :thumb:
