How big is your shop? December '09 Grumble Survey

[Mike Labbe]

As usual, the December survey will be a light one. This same question was asked in December of 2004.

How large is your shop/space, including the back room?

Thanks in advance for participating in all these polls.

Happy holidays to all, and a prosperous new year!

Just moved in Sept from 3300 sqft w/2000 filled with antiques/collectibles to about 1500 w/200 antiques. Much less overhead w/still a wonderful location with traffic/parking. Trying to keep ahead of this shrinking economy.

I moved last spring to a slightly larger shop but my framing area is actually smaller than before.
I have studio space for 3 artists and an area for art classes, gallery and stained glass supplies.

950 sq.ft. split about half and half (retail/workspace)

Ok .. gallery is about 2200 and shop is around 2300 ... so I voted wrong .. just did the shop size. anyway .. big space for 2 people in the shop. It's great actually.
