Brad Carson of Louisville, Kentucky, decided he wanted out of the rat race, and decided to purchase a hardware store in his home town. One of the better perks is the giant sign above the entrance, where he posts funny messages almost daily.
“It’s not a big box store, that you have to run down 15 aisles to find things,” customer, Mark Vogedes said.
“Rhinestone Cowboy” plays over the speaker, there’s still a phone on the wall, the popcorn’s free, and just like when he was a teen, Brad Carson is helping customers at J-town Hardware & Rental in Jeffersontown.
More people should be so bold. Why run yourself down in a corporate setting when you can have fun at a job you truly love?
“I quit my corporate job, and bought this store, and then, I told my wife,” Brad explained. “We went over to El Nopal, and drank it out.”
“He’s not as funny as he thinks he is,” added his wife, Jennifer Carson. Since his early days at the store, Carson has always enjoyed coming up with something to put on the sign out front.
Brad may not be as funny as he thinks he is, but his signs are hilarious.
Good for you, Brad. I hope you continue to entertain your customers.
