Opening Date

Well, looks like our opening date has been changed AGAIN!  We are now scheduled to open July 31.  We had hoped to be open in the spring, so we sure missed that!  Our lease has been signed and  I finally received the drawing from our architect, so now we are busy getting contractor bids.  We need to start getting this place built!!

We did get our signs ordered!  And sent a check to the guy who will paint our mural.  Every Firehouse has a LARGE mural which is unique to the area it serves.  We are going to go with old time Naperville so we'll have to see how that turns out!

Once we get started on the building, I'll be able to post some pictures of our progress....

Computer Work!

I won't continue to post dull, boring posts (I hope!), but I feel like I have to put something up to give this blog some substance.

Today I went to the Firehouse Subs in Wheaton (our area rep's store) to set up QuickBooks.  I had a glass of ice water while I was doing it.  And Sparky was training at the time so I saw him too.   So that's what I did today.  Told you it was boring!

Our New Blog

OK, my first attempt at blogging.....  I've decided to use it as a diary of our journey to open a Firehouse Subs franchise.  Now, a lot has been done already, but since I didn't have a blog then, I guess I'll just have to start at this point.  Bob has finished his local training and Sparky has one week left.  We've signed the lease for our store which will be located at 1979 McDowell Road in Naperville - near I-88 & Route 59.   We're waiting for our architect to draw up some plans now so that we can have contractors bid on the work.  I'm going to attach (at least I think I am) a picture of Sparky in front of our store.  Hope you'll continue to read my blog to get updates on our venture!
