but what you fail to think bout it like this, you never had a store or spot, that you can stroll into a week after a release and cop some kicks? or find older clothes? or fitteds in colors/combos youve never seen? why ? because no one know about this
now imagine walkin into that same spot one day, and its packed, nuttins left, you missing on out the good and ur size is gone....heated right?
its not about having a "secret spot" its about be able to comfortably walk into a store, cop what ever u need as you need it, not having to make a trip every 2-3 days to make sure you didnt miss it, and have to buy everything you see right on the spot because you dont wanna miss out
im glad for CC/Pegasus that those guys got an influx of biz but then in the same i feel bad for them.Thats another reason ive taken not to postin my pick ups
From my experience this is the best thing that can happen for a shop, coming up through word of mouth. At this point it is up to the shop employees/owners to figure out a way to reward those old loyal customers. Whether its holding new releases for them, setting up a vip customer list or whatever... a lot of people frown on this concept but realistically its the answer for a lot of shops to maintain their loyal customer base while growing!
just some food for thought
