Repair shops get busy!

The tough economy has created another opportunity. Repair shops are seeing a significant increase in business. I remember being in college and walking into the Cobblestone Shop in Manchester. I was looking for shoe polish. The owner looked at my shoes and indicated that perhaps they could use a little work. I expalained to him that I would just toss them when they were worn out and get a new pair.

The owner of that store, whose name I cannot remember right now, was horrified that I would be so wasteful. He explained to me that he could recondition my shoes and make them new again. And he's been fixing my shoes ever since.

During tough economic times, we all start to think about how we can pinch a penny here and there. The Cobblestone Shop is a great place to start.
