Glad to support this guy not many Mom and pop stores left... Far better then a 7-11 anyday
Bob--sounds like business is slow for Ray due to the artic blast weather we are having. Is the weekend delivery still ongoing??
Its not just the cold weather Melanie . Business has been down for some time all along avenue A .Ray made up the shortfall in income as far back as this summer by spending his SS back payments .In short his candy store's existence is again threatened .
Ray needs more business . He also needs some professional business expertise and some moral support fom his friends .
Someone might want to contact the SBA on Ray's behalf, they have a program with free mentoring for business owners that might be helpful. After my Dad retired from 30+ years of running his own business he got involved with the program to keep busy and lend a hand, basically giving practical business advice to small businesses.
