The 'USA Only' Store By: uppity serf
Tags: CURRENT EVENTS They're 100 percent American-made, every dang product. A hardworking upstate welder got so fed up with losing work to overseas competition and being forced to lay off his own relatives that he decided to forge a new business - a store that sells only products entirely made in America. At the grand opening of his store last year, 800 people stormed through the doors.
"Everyone was shaking my hand and crying," Andol said. "People lost trust in the system. This gives them hope. When we opened the store, we had 50 products, some manufactured by ourselves, like a campfire ring," Andol said. "Now, we have 3,000 items, and I'm looking to expand it to 6,000. Every stitch or screw or raw material has to be from here", he said./

i LOVE THIS IDEA.

That's great. They should have an online store so people don't have to drive all the way up there. However, a totally domestic website with totally domestic software and website creation and management might be hard to do.

And I question whether the money is actually US made. Sure the currency is printed here, but it's propped up by foreign investment.

Still a good idea. At least they should have a catalog online. Let people know what they have for sale.

The website is poor. I got interested in the fire ring. Searching for it comes up with a blank. Finally I went through the categories one at a time, and when I found it, there's zero info about it.
