New Goldfield business offers antiques and more straight ‘Out of the Attic’

          When Cheri Comstock graced the front page of the Wright County Monitor in April of 2018, she had little idea of the impact that would have on her future. Comstock’s new business Smooth Move was featured, through which she assists seniors with downsizing and moving and does estate sales. In the year and half since the article, to say business is booming would be an understatement. In fact, business is so good that Comstock and her partners, the Stitzes, are opening another business to handle the items from the Smooth Move business.

            Out of the Attic is the new venture from Comstock and Kay and Mark Stitz. They are located in the former Cheese Mart building on the west edge of Goldfield on Hwy 3. The owners of Out of the Attic, who are from the Goldfield and Kanawha area, explain how the idea for the store arose. Comstock says that after a year of so of operating Smooth Move, the amount of items they were trying to sell became overwhelming. “We have warehouses full of stuff!” In the past, she has been selling it for her clients online but was still accumulating faster than she could sell it.

            Comstock says that they had so much in storage waiting to sell, that she has had to turn people down for Smooth Move. “It has been overwhelming,” she adds, but in a good way. She and the Stitzes eventually started looking for a storefront location to sell the Smooth Move stock. Kay says, “We were looking for something like a Main Street store location.” So when the Cheese Mart building came available, they jumped on it.
