Ah yes, I had forgot to mention the small Carhartt store. It's relatively new, being part of the Country Store remodel from the beginning of the year. While it's great for what it is, there's certainly still plenty of room for shoes and clothing merchants in Floyd.

Citygirl, finding something unique that no one offers in that area is the key to success, provided the service is reasonable enough for people to use.
Food,Clothes,Entertainment.....the big three........or
how about a printing service?
I don't live in Floyd, and don't know if there is a printing service there...
Floyd is one interesting place.....It reminds me lots of Homer ,Alaska....

Sorry to reawaken such an old thread. Does Floyd have a used book store? A thrift store?

We need food, places to go out to eat there is just an excellent mexican rest. and Blue Ridge Cafe, for food there are Coffee shops a couple, and another place that I think is hippies that run it and prices are just nuts
real food a good sit down restraunt. like good Greek up north
a good bakery in town is needed, this would do well, the towns people that run it don't want it-- but fast food is needed, there is only one --Hardee's
Dunkin Donuts would be good, also Dairy Queen
There is not much here nearby as far as good Doctors, you have to Drive 40 min.
What we need here more then anything is a good contempary church, get rid of those hymnal's and kick it up a notch, wow these people have no idea of how wounderful Church could be, there are contempary in Roanoke and Christiansburg 40 minutes away, to far to get involved.
we'll you have any questions please ask, come to Floyd it is just the best, ---but needs a bit of updating

That is actually not a bad idea. With all of the home-based businesses, especially the crafts oriented ones, around Floyd, it would probably be pretty profitable to have a UPS store there.
