Here's a little more excitement. Things are rolling along. Perhaps in a little while longer we will have rolled the edges off our square wheels and might roll more smoothly.

Stuck in a Rut
Sweet Thing is in a lull at the moment. The economy stinks right now, and that fact has caused lenders and landlords to be skeptical little devils. How to drive them forward to believe in our vision is our predicament at the moment. There are many hopeful signs, but none-the-less it has been a cause for stress... which is never a welcome thing.
We have looked at another space over near the pearl, but just a hair off the beaten path. It's a brand new building with lots of square feet. We were promised a fair deal and even more if needed. We like it, but wonder how much excess work it will be to market our brand when we are not on a main thoroughfare. Who knows? All we know is that the Alberta and MLK space is pretty much the perfect space for a new bakery. Hopefully something will work out soon -- we are getting anxious.
Last night it was mentioned, "you guys better have a dollar menu!" Ha! I don't know how feasible that is, but it's a good thought. Maybe if we made mini pastries... hmm. Anyway, the point is, all suggestions are considered around this joint. We plan to be successful and that doesn't happen without listening to our adoring public. So suggest away... but do be aware I don't subscribe to that dumb saying, "there are no dumb questions." Yes there are. And yes there are dumb suggestions. So no doggy log biscuits please. =)
