Renaming A Business After Taking Over A Yr Ago
We took over a small, consignment furniture store in a smaller town 14 months ago. The store's previous owners started a 2nd business with the same name 3 yrs ago. They sold that business to other people, but the new owners kept the same name. We bought the business a year ago, but now think it is a good idea to rename the business to stop confusion and any bad associations with the previous owners. I have 2 questions #1 - do you think this is a good idea to rename the business? It has been a furniture store in the area for 11 years. #2 do you have any good ideas for a name? We are brainstorming names now. We want to continue to attract an upscale clientele / consignors, but we also want to supply to college age, families, young adults, and older people. How do we incorporate everyone and get out name out there? We want to expand / reface the business and I feel this site has a lot of great ideas. Thank you!
