First Customer!!!!

We have our first customer!!!!

We got the official sign of from the city to start construction and John Cooper literally walked the application for sellers permit though the city and got the sellers permit for Fremont.  Paul Benn has been jonesing for a nice Xikar Cigar Lighter and Punch.  Well, he wanted them, we can sell them and...  We have our first CUSTOMER!!!!! Thanks Paul.

Construction has started in earnest.  Or more appropriately destruction.  All the walls are torn down, cement is being cut to run power and plumbing lines in prep of the true buildout.  The builder is expected 5 - 6 weeks of construction, then we are going to do nice stained concrete floors which takes a week then we probably have a week of moving in the humidors and stock.  We are still good for a March Madness opening.  Not sure if it is the first tipoff of the first game or the final game but we should be open to watch the game while enjoying a fantastic cigar.

I also wanted to thank everybody on the feedback I got on the signs.  For the front of the store turns out plain is best.  Nice clean simple sign you will be able to easily see as you drive by on Mowry.








The sign on the signboard in the front turned is awesome because of great ideas from a bunch of people.  This sign will be one of the panels on the signboard you can see in the lower left hand corner of the picture above of the front of the store.
