squelching rumors...

honesty is always the best policy, i do believe.  i know a few customers today heard a discussion that has already lead to a few questions. so before the rumors go any further, let me just clarify a few things...



yes, our landlord did come into the shop today to inform me that he wants to put the building up for sale.  by a broker.  that is all i know at this moment.  are we interested in buying it? possibly. there are many questions and details that need to be discussed. and some praying that needs to occur. have we talked to the bank. yes we have. sba applications are lengthy. and complicated. anyone who tells you otherwise has either no experience with them or is not being factual. 

no, this does not come as a complete surprise. we have been wrestling with the possibility of the need to move for years. my husband has had location b, c, & d in his hip pocket for sometime. just in case. 

i too have been thinking ahead. from the very beginning. that is why nothing is nailed to the walls or the floor. the white furniture can be moved anywhere. even the cutting island and counter top was designed so it can be picked up and relocated in a moments notice. 

drive up and down mayfield right now and you will observe for lease signs everywhere.  i am not worried. did i mention i am praying though? for guidance with the possibility of a pot of money falling from the sky.

jellen's will not disappear overnight. i promise you that.
