I do not know if we are feeling the crunch of things or not.
We started our operation amidst this financial crisis. We really had no choice. I worked in Aviation and my company started reading from Chapter 7 and my dad's art business has slowed to all but a crawl.
We setup shop in the town my dad lives in which is very small and out of the way and we are doing well just off the local pop, all word of mouth so far. Who knows how much it will grow when we finally decide to advertise and do a bit of marketing.
Plus we have the summer season coming and we are on the road that all the tourists and weekenders come down to get to the canyon for camping and fishing. we are hoping this boosts sales tremendously.
We don't really do catering,except to a couple of fly Fishing Guides friends we know. we are a take out only operation. This could well and easily change though. I mean if someone wants us to cater a party we would be crazy to say no.
This is our dream anyway, and maybe it is fate that basically forced to do it.
I hope fate isn't a total A-Hole...
