Step Two

First of all I didn't end up buying up 100's of doughnuts in the name of the business (though I'm debating doing it just for myself!). It turns out that we may actually have a pallet that will work so I'm still checking into it.

In other news, did I happen to mention what happened with the retail space I'm interested in? I spent hours upon hours trying to figure out who owned the space and finally found the name of the property company so called and left a message. I ended up calling a few days later and it turns out that it's a mistake in the tax records and they don't own the property nor do they know who does. So I was back to square one. In the end after Google didn't seem to have the answer I ended up calling up one of the next door retail spaces and they gave me the name of the management company but couldn't give me the phone number (the woman I spoke with didn't have it). More internet searching and I finally found what I think is the address for the management company so I finally ended up mailing them a letter mid last week and I'm waiting somewhat anxiously for some sort of answer. Assuming I don't get one, I finally figured out who the previous tenant of the space was so I'm thinking of calling them and trying to get the phone number from them.

Let's just say there are more steps involved with all of this then I was assuming...perhaps that's the universe's way of telling me this isn't the best idea I've had?
