So, the biggest news of the week is that one of the places I called a few weeks ago said "Yes!" to selling my pretzels. Soon, we can officially add FOUR new locations, all of which are the Espresso Gallery coffee shops here in Fort Wayne. The original Espresso Gallery, on 14, near Scott road, and the 3 new locations, formerly Aspen Coffee Houses, at Georgetown, Dupont Road and Jefferson Road.
We are in the middle of finding displays that will fit their decor, which is a beautiful contemporary look. Once that is completed, we will officially be selling our little 4" guys in their shops.
I am going to find a dark metal display that holds about 9 pretzels at a time, and they can place several of them around where they have room. The pretzels hang from the loops in the raffia bow, and look nice all lined up in rows.
The Marshmallows and 8" pretzels will be considered around holidays, and we are talking about creating an Espresso Gallery pretzel using their very own in house roasted coffee beans. That will be fun.
So, all the nervousness of calling and all the hard work of this week have totally been worth it. We have a whole lot of room to grow still, which means a whole lot of work ahead for us too, but I feel more and more each day that this is what I'm meant to do.
Now, having my own retail location with built in kiddie rooms would make this much easier, but I'm not complaining.
