Moving On...

As one day leads to the next, so does one opportunity to another. It looks like the building we have been so close to calling home for Cafe Evoke is not going to work out. After weeks and weeks of planning and negotiate the lease and parking, the owner does not want to help us out with any spaces. His thoughts towards the situation were that I should not have even brought it up with the city as they never would have mentioned anything. Ethics might have had something to do with my decision to go to the city planners for help on this. We do have other options that we are now exploring more than ever. There is still the coffee trailer option (which I have a lot of work to do) and we also went and looked at another building on Wednesday that is a few blocks from the one we have been watching. I will post more on this later. We are meeting with our Financial Planner at this new building along with our contractor and building advisor on Tuesday which should be a nice meeting. The thing that is catching us with our heads down is that we bought some equipment as the owner of the space that we just lost said there was more parking than there actually ended up being. (His mistake!) So, if we can not find somewhere soon, or at least a build to suit that will be opened in several months, we will end up selling off this equipment. We are still pushing forward but I have to admit, options are limited but still there. Its a tough time.. ~~be bold
