Keys, Architect and Store #2...and more patience

We have been back from CA now for 11 days...and so much has happened. At the same time, it seems like not much has happened....unless of course you count our 'large' hamster (Zach) deciding to go to animal heaven. Anyway, we have received our keys to our space ! Yea! Now we can stop by anytime and dream of construction going on! We have started to interview contractors....we have checked into getting the Cherry On Top logo on the 'exit' ramp signs...you know the logos on the big, blue signs that tell you when to exit for your favorite food place or gas station! There has been and will be much discussion on where we will open Store #2!....One afternoon we drove all around trying to find the second most perfect spot and tasting yogurt at some of our competitors stores! Maddie and Sammy loved that day. Before construction can begin, before we can hang a sign saying 'Blooming soon' we need to get a permit....Before we can get a permit, we need a contractor. Before we can hire a contractor, we need the architect plans. There is a real order to things and the month of August will be all about waiting for others to do their job. We are so patient...right. Today....over the internet came our first look at what the Architect has put together for our spot. We are working with an agency out of San Diego...they have done quite a few stores for Cherry On Top!....We will review them, put our own spin on them, make any changes if necessary and wait for the revisions! Can't wait to see what next week brings us!
