Day One: "I'm Gonna need a bigger Cooler!"

Hey
So The Grand opening is over, for never have really operating a full day myself, the day went Pretty smooth! I'd say the months of research and mental preparation, has paid off. I had customers lined up before I Had even had the cart set up,(2 guys from lane!, credit that to the flyer's I Handed out earlier in the week)

Once the day got moving, I realized that I would be doing more business then I planned. People were coming out in groups, and it was more of a RONA staff crowd then anything. The human recourse rep, Nick, had said that the whole store was excited, and by the end of the day the store manager said the feedback was super positive, SO RONA Likes The dogs. Well the BIG Dog to be exact, as i ran out of the stock i had brought up.

Thanks to all those who showed up for a visit as well, Blair, Dahr, Nick, Mom, Dad, Nanny, Gran dad, Ken, and all the customers, and RONA Staff, who I hope to see more of over the coming months.

A few things I found is that people like to eat even in the rain ha, "I'm gonna need a bigger cooler...", the umbrella is gonna need some Tinkering to work, I might just go with the enclosed 4 post patio thingy haha. and The Big Dog is a hot seller!

Coming soon, some Promo Pics of the first day taken by Go Nutz Photographer, Dahr!!
Great Pics Dahr! they'll be coming soon!

GO NUTZ!

2 More days Till I GO NUTZ!

Well Friday is the Grand opening, I'm not doing anything 'Grand' besides finally starting this business. Today I went around to the business around RONA and handed out flyers advertising the Opening on friday as well as just the Company. Encouraging staff to come on over to RONA and let me make them a dog! ha

If your in the area come on out! If your not in the area, I imagine you will be at one point this year, so you can stop by then!

Go Nutz!

Nate!

Cart has arrived!

Well another task checked off!
after a couple weeks of delays, and set backs, the cart has arrived in all its glory!
hooked it up to the car, and drove it away.It's much lighter then I thought, it does a lot of bouncing around over even the smallest bumps in the road. Everything I had hoped for though!

The wiring will take an afternoon to hook up though

but I was able to get the Licence plate on no problem.

Schedules!

Hey,
Well I met with a manager at RONA finally today after a bunch of emails and phone calls, and if all goes as planned, 'cause they haven't been lately, Grand opening now will be 

May 29th, 2009! at the RONA store in Bayer's Lake

We discussed Operating times, storage, ideas for more customers, and some paper work.

He told me some times that would be good and, we mixed that with what i wanted to work
These are the times:

• Monday    - Wednesday   11am - 4pm
  
• Thursday - Saturday        11am - 7pm
  
• Sunday                                   11am - 5pm
  

These times may change as I see fit, in accordance with busier times and slower times.
Lets hope its all busy times!!

Stay tuned for a menu!!

p.s I just thought this picture was funny, 

Keep it Real
And..
Go Nutz!

A Few Delays...

So today was an interesting day,

first off cart should have arrived yesterday, hadn't. So I called the company that shipped it to me, and they sent it to Hamilton rather then Halifax. Not the Cart companies fault but the shipping company.
Okay 1 Delay.

Then Supposed to meet with Rona Store Manager, he was away today emergency. and other managers were not in, so that's post-poned till tomorrow.
Okay 2 Delays.

The insurance company called and said they had forgotten to get me to sign a piece of paper, well that's one trip over to the Dark side humph :S
Okay Delay number 3.
After all this today wasn't an entire slow one, I did, work for a few hours, as well as get the hitch on the car for a ridiculously cheap price!! 20% off because it took forever(4 weeks) to arrive!!

So after all that today I'd say was a success!

...Just Going Nutz That's all! :)

Grand opening will no longer be May 23rd :S

MENU WILL BE POSTED SOON!

GO NUTZ!

RONA, Is Going Nutz!

After a good 6 months of looking, asking emails, inquires, store managers, assistant managers, and Head office people, it all let to RONA the "How to People"

...Drum roll please!!....... budabudabudabudbaubudbuabduabudbubad....

Go Nutz!

The How To People

So More Updates in the world of Go Nutz!

This morning I received an email from the store manager of RONA in Bayer's Lake, Basically he was returning an email i had sent the company purposing my idea of setting up in front of the store.
Well even though it took a little while to get back to me, he has, and he likes the idea and would like to talk it over!

So i may not be going Nutz on the commons anymore, but Going Nutz at RONA, the RONA has much more staying power, constant foot traffic any day of the week, and year, think it is a much better way for me to go.

I'm going to try and meet with him tomorrow and see what we can figure out!


RONA the how to people...
GOING NUTZ!!!
