Milestones:
- 1998 - Founded/registered with State of Texas as a sole proprietorship (veteran owned and family operated).
- 1998-2007 - Bussey's Flea Market, 12 miles north of I-35 north and I-1604 in San Antonio. Sales fluctuated between $300.00 to $900.00 a month; $3,800 annually for 8 days a month (weekends only)).
- 2008, August - Closed Bussey's Flea Market outlet due to declining sales, economy, and increased costs.
- 2008, September to December - Received Vendor Contract with AAFES (Armed Forces Exchange System) Dallas for Randolph Air Force Base.
- 2009 - With an economy hurting from the financial industry collapse, we shuttered our sales and bided our time.
- 2010 - Received another contract with AAFES Dallas for Randolph Air Force Base. Sales from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 rose from $800.00 a month (usually 2 weeks a month) to approximately $1,200.00 a month (2-3 weeks a month; including internet sales via our website: www.misticshores.com). Our Fourth of July week netted us $1,900.00 in sales; quite a week. We closed 2010 with nearly $10,000 in annual sales.
- 2011 - Opened a second kiosk location at Fort Sam Houston AAFES Exchange. Alternating between Fort Sam Houston and Randolph AFB, our 2011 sales will close out totalling $18,000. That includes over $4,000 in sales from our new and revamped website courtesy of Intuit.com.
