After 12 years in the children’s clothing business, I was ready for a change! The current trend of remaking/reimagining 80’s and 90’s classic nostalgia was the inspiration behind Trax on Trinity, which is now part retro/nostalgia gift shop, part boho bookstore, part hippie head shop! Something for everyone!
Going from a pretty well established business to a completely different type of store has had its challenges, especially trying to essentially grow our following from scratch again. Meeting the needs of a different demographic has also been a learning process.
One of our customers said it best- “It’s the closest to Spencer’s Abbeville will ever get”. Add in a college bookstore vibe and that’s the best description I can think of!
That little gasp I hear when someone sees something in the shop that immediately takes them back to their childhood… that unlocked memory of something they loved….that is the most satisfying part of my job.
