Set Back, but not the end of the Dream

The Investor I had hoped to pay $50,000 has not proven to live up to all its worth. The deadline for the money was the 1st of July(wednesday) This would allow me to have the shop fitter to complete so that I could have opened for the 1st of August.

However now the shop is stalled until I can get the money. It was allot to expect for some one to pay that amount of money with in two weeks and not have a solid agreement. I also found that the person I have been dealing with is not the person who will eventually pay the money. The main problem is that I had set my self up with too much staff. However I only had myself and two others to work there and for an average day there would be two people in the shop. In the future my plan would be to build to six Staff with two people working in both sections and casuals to fill in the gaps and sick days.

However as the title says its not over yet, Just delayed! I still need to find Money. I am relentlessly resourceful, and I will look to find the money in different ways, also I really am better off with people who know me and can believe in me and what I intend to do.

So don't feel worried a delay is only a stepping stone to the eventual future. I am willing to get a small group of investors that may wish to be come private share holders.

The Coffee

Yes for those who have tried it Toby's Estate is the coffee I have been pursing for the Cafe side of Margetsons, for more details see http://www.tobysestate.com.au/ Those of you that have tried please let me know what you think. I have found many good reports myself and have been to their chipendale shop and tried a bit. I Love their range of teas especally and their training program is efficent and excelent.

Talk of a shop

I have been looking at this shop out side of the richmond market place as the first location of Margetsons as a shop. I would like to expand the excitement to let you know that it will be a Cafe alongside the Manchester, Linen. its 64 March street
This is from the walk way from the Centre, Notice the grassed area I am hoping to be approved for out door seating. This used to be the former Electoral Office, and temporally had David Lawrence as an outlet.
This picture is where there are two toilets and a staff sized Kitchen.The Shop is 152 squared metres and will have four businesses



This is a rough floor plan giving you an idea of that the space will be used for. Also Note the side office it will house a Tarot Reader and her business, Tucked away for privacy.The image above shows what I hope to have made for the shop. These tables have shelving so that if the Manchester proves mor popular than these tables can be stacked on another table upside down to provide display shelving
