business is starting to get steady and we are beginning to become profitable. the first year for any business is tough but for the igtogo especially we had a trying first year. we had a blizzard on christmas eve and below zero temperatures in jan-feb, we had QT totally building anew building and completely overhauling their infrastructure next door and we had a summer that was extremely hot. we overcame all those obstacles to break even for the year. that was an accomplishment in a year of recession.
our economy has not gotten much better but we are a lot smarter than we were a year ago. we have a tremendous amount of regular customers that eat here consistently. were building a business that we can sustain for hopefully many, many years.
we had our new potential builder here yesterday and i feel good about him. he's from lee's summit so it's coincidental that our second location will be in lee's summit. he is very well qualified and i have a real good gut feeling about him. we'll see where it takes us. i told him we are going to build 1000 igtogo's and he wasn't intimidated.
we are going to the bank on friday with the intent of getting the lee's summit store financed.
we need to have the second location up and running by the spring and #3 by the end of fall.
we can do it and we will.
have a great sunday. it's grandparents day.
