Default signs of the times

The month of january and this economy has claimed yet another victim, I was forced to close the doors of one of my businesses this week. I'm not overy upset about it though. It was a great learning experience for me and eventhough the doors are closed I dont consider it a failure. We lasted two years, put out a great product, and created a wonderful reputation for ourselves. I t wasn't just the economy's fault a few other developements over the past year the caused the business to suffer. I cant talk about these online because they are sensitive and you never know who is reading this. Anyway, I feel lucky in the fact that I have other souces of income and another restuarant that is holding very well through these tough times. Plus I can move on and I feel I that I have been edjucated at a very young age about the highs and lows of business. I am a firm believer in "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," and I plan on taking another crack at it in the not so distant future. For now I will enjoy my extra feel time with my family and driving the S.
Here are a few pics of the deli. Hope everyone makes it through these tough times unharmed. All I can say is thank god for my family, the make me realize what is truely important.


I have to add these as well

thanks for the support everyone. I will be fine, you win some you lose some.
Yes it was right downtown North attlebore next to the post office. The good part about it is I already have three people who are interested in purchasing the business. It is priced to sell and I did a ton of work for the build out so everything is brand new. Im confident the business will move quick.
