Update

Good News!  Things are moving slowly but surely as we move to making the prickly pear a reality.  I now have a pretty promising location.  Its in downtown, the size is great and most importantly the owner is very nice and I think he can see the vision I have for the store.  More meetings are needed, but I feel like there is real promise in that location.  When it "came onto my radar", all of a sudden it just felt right.

Today, I had a very preliminary meeting with the bank just to here about my options and to try to establish some next steps.  Funding is my next big leap to make.  If only I could find a sponsor.  :)  You know, the type that would fund a start up business just because the community needs it and its the right thing to do.  Not to mention that the owner is just a really sweet, down to earth girl who just wants to affect positive change in her community.  tee hee hee...

Anyhow, I sense that doors continue to open for me and I am excited about the potential that we have in Norwalk.  Before you know it, the Prickly Pear will be open for business and I can't wait to welcome you in the doors!
