Is that a padlock on the potty?

So, we learned a bit about port-a-potties this week. Apparently, when you 'rent' them they are set up on a maintenance schedule that is reflective of how many people are using it per day. This is important to know...our Construction supervisor, Jerry, noticed that the dudes next door building out the restaurant were 'cashing in' on our rental...Not Fair says he. Too many people visiting the throne....so a lock was secured and now you need a key to....Get your own darn potty! HA.

This is the view from in the kitchen behind the machines!A view of our POS station! (point of sale for those non-retail people)
It is the end of construction...week 3! There were many exciting changes this week...it really feels like a yogurt store now! Craig and I leave on Sunday for our yogurt school...Hope I learn more about yogurt than eating it! For those who have been to the COT in CA...for lunch on Monday....PCH. We will think of you all.

We are still waiting on the Mall....no surprise there. All good things are worth the wait?!

We are re-evaluating our financing options for our SBA loan...even in that business...people talk and promise and fail to deliver. Must mean there is something better around the corner....right? No stress whatsoever!

We remain focused on our goal...Thanks to everyone for their support!

Next update from CA!

Drywall, tape and mudd=PROGRESS !

Exit Ramp signs and constuction update!

Official on the road...

Imagine yogurt machines where the faces are !
There is a yogurt store in there somewhere!
Alot has been completed over the past week! Everyday we go up to the store and something has changed. It is so much fun. This week will be about wiring and dry-walling!

We continue to wait for our financing and continue to wait to hear from the Mall.

Our plans to go out to CA for training is evolving! Can't wait to understand the ins and outs !

Things are getting busy !

We have been waiting for this time! This is it! Every day there is something different up at our Flagship store! So far, things are running smoothly and on time! We are working on picking furniture and finalizing pendant lighting. Today, Craig met with our lawyer to discuss the contract for the mall. Yesterday, we filed our paperwork for the SBA loan! We leave in 2 weeks for our training out in CA! We have had so much help and support along the way...keep it coming!

A Little More Action...PLEASE!

11/1/10: People....we have a wall going up!

The spot we are hoping to get at the mall...is the ATT store in the middle of this picture. The 'gray' spot to the left of the white wall!

We made a visit to the Lincoln, NE location. While we were there, we were able to meet Jason Metcalf. He is the developer of the co-branded concept!

Our dumpster...Plumbing is in!
