"RESERVED"

THE most exciting thing to happen this week was....that we have 2 RESERVED parking spots for Cherry On Top and a sign! It was so fun to drive by and say hey...what's that!??? It is amazing how much a 'little' forward process can mean to all of us!

We now have had the architects plans for over a week....and have yet to turn them in to the city of Lenexa. After we received the plans, we found out that we had to have an Architect licensed in KS review and sign the plans...our Architect is based out of CA....so, this has taken some research and time. We have the architect in KS, released the copyright out of CA and they should be able to sign our plans...next week we will turn then into the city...if all goes according to plan. Of course, not much has gone according to plan! We have prayed over the weekend for a renewel of our steadfast spirit! This week we should also receive the bids from the contractors....and then we can continue with our loan. Also up this week...finding our second store. We have put out many 'letters of intent'....and have found ourselves in competition with other yogurt stores and franchises. With this info...and talking with Cherry On Top Corporate...we have decided to pursue getting into the Oakpark Mall....at the same time continuing to review other options outside the mall and around the city. The Mall presents many exciting options ! We will see where this leads us. Cherry On Top currently has 3 of it's stores in malls and so there is experience. All 3 are doing fantastic. None of the other franchises in this area are in Malls...and therefore gives us a big opportunity. Can't wait to see where this week brings us. Waiting...letting the process unfold is THE most difficult part of this adventure. There is a time line...we are on target and still hope to open around Thanksgiving.
