Too many times, says Tim Walton, people would call him about a possible T-shirt order, ask about bringing something by his place of business, and when they found out he was working out of his garage, he'd never hear from them again.

"People thought, 'oh, he's just a teenager, so it's just a hobby for him," Walton said.

That's why Tim decided to open a shop on Main Street -- he figures it will help potential customers take Topline Shirt Company more seriously. In just a week since opening, Walton said, his walk-in traffic has increased.

The front of the retail shop -- in the former space of Millenium Computers (214 E. Main St.) -- will be a retail retro clothing shop operated by Rob Credi. The shop will be called Retro Reserve. Credi and Walton hope that by combining efforts now, it will help both of their businesses grow.

Tomorrow, Saturday, Walton and Credi will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for their two businesses.
