5385 FIVE FORKS TRICKUM RD B-2 STONE MOUNTAIN, GA 30087 uniqthrift@gmail.com WE BUY, SELL, & CONSIGN Guitars. Amps, CDs & DVDs, Collectibles, Antiques, Tools Music & Instruments, Electronics Oddities, Art, Vintage Jewelry, and Much More BEN AND DENISE November 23, 2016 To Whom it may concern: Unique Thriftique & Consignment is currently operating in Mountain Park Plaza at 5385 Five Forks Trickum, Suite B-2, Stone Mountain, GA 30087. The shop is owned and operated by Ben Walker and Denise Wempe. Ben has a bachelor's degree in fine art from UGA and 25 years of experience as coowner of Antique and Pawn. Denise is a CPA who retired as the Regional Inspector General, Region IV, with the U.S. Department of Education in December 2015. Denise currently is a registered mediator and a consultant with experience in business, accounting, and auditing. We want to evolve our shop into a pawn shop and, therefore, we are requesting a Special Use Permit (SUP). As a pawn shop, we WILL NOT BUY, SELL, OR LOAN ON FIREARMS. In addition, we WILL NOT DO CAR LOANS OR INSTALOANS. We prefer to loan on items that fit into the current inventory of our shop, specifically, antiques and collectibles, such as, Guitars. Amps, COs & DVDs, Collectibles, Antiques, Tools, Music & Instruments, Electronics, Oddities, Art, Vintage Jewelry, and nostalgic and unusual items. Previously, in 2015, Gwinnett County approved Ben Walker for an SUP; however, we had some issues with the lease at that location and continued our search for a more suitable site. Our current location is uniquely suited for displaying our unique items and collectibles. Our inventory includes antique and vintage, art deco, mid-century modern, and retro items and collectibles, such as, tools and electronics; vintage jewelry; coins; antique and collectible toys and tins; antique radios and phones; unique bronze sculptures; unique artwork; sports memorabilia; comics and vinyl; and much more cool stuff. We also specialize in musical instruments, including guitars. Currently, the shop includes our own inventory, but we will do consignments for selected items that fit into our genre. Both Ben and I have been residents of Lilburn, GA for 18 and 12 years, respectively. We have both put children through the Parkview school district. In fact, we met many years ago, when our youngest were playing ball at Mountain Park, Ben was one of the coaches of my daughter's softball team. We both have coached several sports at Mountain Park, including baseball, softball, basketball, football (and GGC soccer); in addition, we donate time to the schools. We located our shop near where we live because we love being a part of our community and our shop supports the kids and the teams in the community. If you need any additional information, please contact either Ben (470-295-6133) or myself (816-813-3750).
