I am overwhelmed with gratitude, fellas. I met with my county small business development agency earlier this week. He was both very encouraged by my concept and very supportive. I want you all to know that I felt a whole lot more like an ownership group spokesman than I felt like a sole proprietor in that meeting. I carried all of you and your support in there with me.

Please keep the ideas and information coming. They are incredibly valuable. At the same time, though, I'll share a question or two that has come up and maybe you guys can help answer those too.

One possibility for location is a roughly 50x140 building. It is on my town's "main st" so there would be plenty of visibility, security that comes with visibility, parking, etc. There is another building adjacent with similar dimensions. Do I NEED that 2nd building (keeping in mind that it doubles my expense)? Or can I realistically not just survive but also thrive in the one building?

Thanks again everyone!
