Progress...

We went to check out our trailer this week. She is a beauty... We are getting anxious now because we want to open up in the middle of February, but the process is going slower than we thought. Adam and I are not very handy, and we cannot build things, so we have to just patiently wait for it. The counters are in, and so is the stove and service window, but it's still missing a whole lot.

We have an awesome artist painting the outside of our trailer next week. That is a big step because when we try to get a spot in downtown or in any "food cart pot," the first thing the landlord asks for is a picture of the trailer. Apparently, the trailer doesn't only have to be aesthetically pleasing, but it also has to match with the other carts in the pod, as far as the funkiness level. We are hoping for a funky painting, but we are not so concerned with it, because that's one thing that is easy to change.

There is one guy who manages all the City Center lots in downtown, and his name is Al. I am not going to publish his cell phone number here, but if you call their main number, they will provide Al's number. Once our cart is ready on the outside, we email him a picture and he will email us the lots that are available. Most of them are $500 monthly with no contract. Some lots come with electricity on each spot, but some don't. We might need to get an electrician to pull the wires.
