Funding Usage
I would make use of the money to upgrade the flooring in the building and some changes outside. I would also use for advertising and getting the word out their more. Also would help to pay the gals so I can get my feet on the ground. I would need a new till that is not so old fashioned. I would also really love to add some sort of coffee bar so that will be an item that might draw people in. I know I was new when I first started for my first business. but I need to get it so I am really watching what I spend and where I spend it to get business going and being a blessing.

Business Plan
Right now I am looking at what is the need for the community. Thinking with better ways to advertise and signs that will bring people in. Doing some fun evening events to bring people in and even having an area in the store for people to come in an sit and have a coffee in between shopping. It is very important that I help others feel special and that the store creates a way to be a blessing to the community. Why should people invest in me, because I am a hard worker and I really want to succeed. I want to create a place in our town that really makes the people happy to come in. Invest in me and hold me accountable. I believe I have what it takes to make it work and be strong and be a blessing to the community.
