Welcome to Day 5 of Jimmy's Journey to 15!
Have you heard about Jimmy's Journey to 15?! It's our 15th anniversary this year, and we will be sharing the story of JBW, year-by-year, here on our blog! Join us on the journey as we celebrate 15 years in business and highlight 15 partners in the yarn industry! Each day we'll kick off the blog post with a short clip of Jimmy (a.k.a. Laura) recounting one year of our history, while telling the story of a vendor who came along for the ride!
In this video, Jimmy chats about the first expansion of the Reno, NV store, and how her friendship with Barry, of Trendsetter Yarns, developed!

2006, Year 5 in Review!
In 2006, JBW moved into a pet store - no, really, we did! We quickly outgrew our first location in Reno, and moved into a nearby storefront that was previously a pet store. Jimmy and the Beans worked hard to clean the space of any lingering pet smells or hair, and moved a different type of "fur" into the shop - yarn! This move increased our square footage by 50%, which allowed for more inventory...
Thank you for joining us on Day 5 of Jimmy's Journey to 15! Be sure to join us again tomorrow for Day 6, where we'll highlight our 6th year in business along with a vendor that joined us along the way! And be sure to check out our Ravelry discussion thread and chime in with any comments you may have as we reminisce together about the last 15 years! You can also spread the word on social media using the hashtag #jimmysjourney15.
XOXO,
Jimmy & the Beans
I remember being so thrilled with the new store, and then so disappointed a couple years later to find you gone (thankfully, only relocated). The years I lived in Reno (1971-1981) were not the greatest, yarn-wise -- no internet, no LYS. But since I visit family there fairly often, I always make sure to include at stop at JBW in my schedule.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see that you are offering a 50% discount on yarn, as I was looking to buy some yarn and knitting tools. As my mother’s birthday is just around the corner and she always taunts me for my knitting skills. So, I want to give her a sweater knitted by myself but these assignment writing tasks are not allowing me a minute for that. So, I am thinking to get some professional assignment writing services and after that, I will get these yarns.
ReplyDeleteYeah, its been 15 years since I started working on ERP system in Pakistan. and now I am a successful business man
