The wife and I used to head up to N. Conway at least once a year to hit the outlets usually in July. They have some great deals around that time of year, or right after Christmas. It was about a 2 hour drive up Rte 16 from where I grew up.

What kind of shop are your running? Anything specific or just all around mechanic stuff? Good luck with getting your business up and running. I know you already know this, but it bares repeating: Do some good honest work at a fair price and word of mouth will get your business running strong.
