Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hello, my name is Nasim Findlay-Abrams

I would like to open Create Cove

It is a Hobby and DIY shop

How did I come to get this shop? Well... I saved up most of my earnings from working at different shops and my starting earnings from my webcomics.

The things I love about this shop are All the different people who come in, helping people find a new hobby, teaching people who want to learn, seeing people wanting to buy my comic, collaborating with other hobby stores.

The things I despise about this shop are Someone asking the same questions 4 different ways, people getting mad if I don't have one specific thing, elitists, when people attempt to haggle for already cheap items, when people call something "stupid" just because they can't see why someone else might enjoy it.

Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you! I'm very willing to collaborate with the other stores in Hogsmeade from anything to DIY workshops to cross sectional selling

Hello, my name is Edward Usher)

I would like to open Hopping Harpy Dancee Club and Bar

Su - Trivia/Bingo

How did I come to get this shop? Well... After the mother of his twins signed over full custody for total ownership of his father's record label, he knew he wanted to start his own business and make it big. Leaving America to move to the UK so his kids could go to Hogwarts, he discovered an older bar with a four-bedroom house behind it, both of them for sale. He knew it was going to be perfect for raising his kids.

So, after a lot of love and renovation, he created the ultimate dance club. He put hardwood floors and full-length mirrors upstairs to make the studio, then on the main level, created a bar with tons of room for dancing and hanging out. In the basement is storage for the bar and a small office off to the side.

The things I love about this shop are
-Being close to his kids if they need something while he is at work, being within a two-minute walk to the front door of his house, is very important
-There are tons of shelves behind the bar and even more room for art on the walls
-He hates the color of the walls, but there is tons of room for all of the artwork he wants to commission
-The outside wall facing the main street is flat enough to commission a mural
-There is a stage for live bands or open-mic nights, and there is also storage for extra tables and chairs for events.

The things I despise about this shop are
-There is no room for a kitchen to sell food to patrons (wants to find a supplier for fresh shelf-stable food like bread and oil, pastries, and more)
-The studio isn't perfectly soundproof, so he can only have the upstairs open during non-busy hours, or the entire bar can hear the dancers
-Wishes there was room for a sound studio, and has been thinking about renovating the basement, but that would lead to an inability to keep bar storage there/in his office.
-He has to duck to walk to his office in the basement, due to how claustrophobic the space is
-He wishes there were a larger garden space between the house and the bar, so that he could add more stuff to the non-existent menu


Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you! The twins, Easton and Evelyn, will sometimes just pop up at the bar. Evelyn loves making gourmet (non-alcoholic) infusions for the drinks (and making customers drink the weird concoctions she makes) while Easton keeps mint, basil, and other fresh herbs in the very small garden for said drinks.
The dance studio is free for students to use and is trying to find someone to teach classes in the morning.
