Opening a LHBS in Wyoming!

[WyomingBrewer]

In Worland, WY to be more precise... Have the funding and required licenses. In talks with a distributor. Looking for a rental space downtown and all thats left is getting stock in. Hope this works out. Nearest shops are 3 hours in either direction and there is at least 1 brew club in the Big Horn Basin Area. Im not expecting to get rich but I hope it makes it. Local folks keep your eyes open for Big Horn Basin Brew Supply!

Good luck for spreading some brew cheer with a new store and bringing other brewers their supplies. I know I can buy for a few dollars cheaper online, but my local shop is 5 minutes from me. Friendly and knowledgeable and I make a point to support small local businesses.

My LHBS last week went out of their way to help me. They left 1/2# of grain from my order on the scale. When I left, Jeff only had my name. He looked me up online and delivered the grain to a house. Not my house, my old address, but went out of his way. Thats service.

Add some brew classes and good inventory and you'll make it!

Wyoming is the only state I have been to where you can buy guns, ammo, liquour, gasoline and cherry bombs from a drive-through store. Good luck with your enterprise! I'm sure you will do well.

Good luck. Are you going to have an online store also?

Had our grand opening Friday Oct 12th....hours are 10AM-6:30PM M-F and 10-5 Sat. My wife works it on the weekdays till I get off my regular job. I am there after 4:30 everyday and all day Saturday. She does not know that much about brewing so if you have questions or wanna shoot the breeze then wait till Im there to stop by.

I grew up in Casper, is there a brew store there?
Good Luck!!

 

[stevo4361]

Yeah, there is Dr. Fermentos shop in Casper, still 3 hours away from us in the Basin though.

The secret to making a small fortune owning a Home Brew Store is...






Start with a large fortune.



I had to do it


Best of luck!!!

 

[WyomingBrewer]

Understood....I dont expect a fortune. I do hope to advance the hobby and provide our area with top notch service and supplies!

Congratulations. Having the moxy to start any small Business in your *area of expertise* is a true endeavor. I had wanted to own my own LHBS for a while- I hope you succeed marvelously. Here's to Big Horn Basin Brew Supply becoming the next Northern Brewer. Best of luck to you. Cheers!

:rockin:Thank you very much. Like I said, I dont expect a fortune, but a living would be nice! Watch out Midwest and Austin Homebrew...lol

Stopped in today with a buddy, he got a starter kit and ingredients and is ready to go, been bugging him for awhile now to get started. I picked up some hops and an APA kit, pretty good selection and your pricing definitely makes it better than going online and paying for shipping. Very nice shop man, will be back for sure, it's like walking into a candy store haha. Talked to your wife and she said you are doing classes/meetings in the future, very interested in attending and meeting some fellow home-brewers!
