Hey all: My newest venture in life is The Lil' Red Shed. lilredshed.com ... I sell novelty, holiday and political flags (3 dozen different designs). I also sell stickers, hats, tshirts, crystals, art and smoking accessories all out of my 8X10 ft shed. I'm the smallest biggest store and Head Shop in the USA! LOL I started the Lil' Red Shed 2 years ago with 4 flags and for under $500. There are days I am literally shocked and pleased with my customer count and ticket average. Thanks to Square I have grown immensely. 

I live in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, home to one of the most haunted hotels in the United States, the Crescent Hotel. I do private walking Ghost/History tours in town at night now, along with the Red Shed during the days. I was the in house paranormal investigator and tour guide for the Crescent Hotel and the Basin Park Hotel in Eureka Springs for a few years and have been doing paranormal investigations since 1981... I'm an old guy. If anyone is around the OZ (Ozarks) give me yell, this place is amazing in it's beauty, history and people. 

Good luck to all.

We are a laser tag, axe throwing, arcade game and cafe in a small 12,200 square foot facility in Flagstaff, AZ.  We currently run two square terminals one portable terminal and will probably add a kitchen printer in the next month or so.  

 

For marketing / additional revenue we have a portable axe throwing trailer as well and do random events around Northern Arizona. 

 

Thanks for the invite to the group and look forward to learning more from other facilities.  If you are ever visiting the Grand Canyon then stop by and learn to throw axes or if you have young folks tag them in the two story laser tag arena.  https://flagtagaz.com

Hello everyone!

 

I am the Director of the Carousel of Happiness - the most amazing little place in our small town.  We offer carousel rides, a gift shop, a DIY puppet theatre, but the best part is the story.  A vietnam war veteran found a derelict carousel (1910 Looff) without horses (they were auctioned off by the previous owner) and started carving the 30+ riding animals over a period of about 26 years (completely self-taught!).  He worked with the town of Nederland and it's residents to raise $700,000 to build the building and install his carousel.  We now operate as a 501c3 nonprofit, promoting happiness, well-being, and service to others through stories and experiences.  

 

If you're in Colorado, come visit us!  Located along the beautiful peak to peak scenic byway, in Nederland.

 

If you'd like to learn more about us, visit our website www.carouselofhappiness.org

 

I am hoping that Square will continue to develop helpful new features for us to utilize - such as a better link with Woocommerce or a more customizable Square Online - and #1 priority is a round-up feature!

Hi everyone!

I'm Emily - owner of The Violet Fox Bookshop. Reading is my preferred form of leisure and entertainment, of course. I started about a year and a half ago and am still slowly, growing.  I've been operating online only, but have a physical booth space opening in Virginia Beach this summer!

Hello.

I own & operate an 80s themed video game arcade & bar in Historic Downtown Hillsboro, Oregon. We signed our lease pre-covid and by the time we took possession everything was in lockdown. Opened our doors July 2020 and needless to say it's been a tough run. Still digging out of a hole and still hanging on, I feel like this might finally be our year. Local events and parades are finally coming back, which should bring thousands of people into our area that have been missing for the last 2 years. Fingers crossed!

I am John.  My family owns a baseball, softball, and basketball training facility. We have automated pitching machines as well as "live arm" tunnels. We also have a well-stocked pro shop. Our staff includes former Major League, Olympic, and college athletes to train and assist. 

 

We are using Square Retail for sales in the Pro Shop as well as sales of training sessions. I would love to use Appointments to schedule our training sessions, but it currently lacks the ability to allow for customers to just rent a tunnel (resource) without a coach (staff). We also cannot see the calendar for the tunnels (resources) just the staff.  If either (or hopefully both) are fixed we will happily migrate off of paper books and get into this century.

Hi,

 

My name is Samantha Tate and I am an online and offline tarot reader at Tarot By SammyBrite LLC. 

 

I have 20 years experience with tarot and continue my studies to this day.  15 of those 20 years were spent being a professional tarot reader on and off.  I am on the autism spectrum and have bipolar II disorder and after being laid off from my part time job in 2020 due to COVID, I decided to relaunch my tarot reading business to help others and bring them clarity and comfort. 

 

My specialties include love and relationship readings, career/business readings, and general readings.  I do not predict death, lotto numbers, find missing people, pets, or lost objects.  And I won't tell you the person you're in a relationship with is your twin flame because I don't believe in that 😝. And I definitely don't upsell you spells or tell you are cursed (as I don't do spells or believe in curses).

 

You can book a reading at my website at www.sammybrite.com or visit me in the Genesee County, Michigan area at Totem Books in Flint every third Saturday or Two Tuesdays a month at the Davison Farmers Market.  Events are listed on my website for more details!

 

I hope to connect with some of you!
