Going Nutz As Usual

Yo!
Well today RONA had a 15% off anything in the store, I was expecting a large crowd, But it was Much larger then I had planned for. The customers were coming and coming one after the other! I didn't have a chance to sit down. I heard a RONA employee say that it was the busiest the stores ever been since they opened! well It was defiantly the busiest day of Go Nutz Since it's opened. It beat my previous best day by almost Double! I had plenty of Dogs and sausages, But not Nearly enough Condiments! I had to shut'r down for 30mins to run to superstore for some emergency Mustard, and Ketchup, and Relish AND Sauerkraut. Ha

Oh and Superstore was having a no Tax event so that was a mad house as well!! overall Super busy day! That's what I want, To Go Nutz!!
Thanks to Nick for coming by with HIS bike! It's looking good!

Go Nutz!

Great Run for Go Nutz

Hey!

Just finished up my Wednesday at Go Nutz. A couple updates, I did my interview with The Hot Dog Cart News Website/Blog called www.hotdogprofits.com yesterday. It is a great site for the Hot Dog vendor community. The man that runs it is Steve Schaible, really cool guy, based out of St. Louis. I contacted him when Go Nutz opened and he said he wanted to to a feature on my company. So he recorded the interview over the phone yesterday as well as he'll do a little write up. DON'T worry I will let everyone know via this site as well as Facebook when it becomes available.

Also today was the best Wednesday in Go Nutz History. Doubling any other Wednesday I've done before, and also it has been the most profitable stretch of 5 days, as well!

The sun DOES bring people out! Thanks to all those who support Go Nutz!

Remember, Go Nutz, for whatever your passion is!

Penguins Stanley Cup Champions!

Good Job to the Penguins!

Against pretty much every statistic that the broadcasters could come up with, going against them, they were able to put together a solid game seven against the Detroit Red Wings, and get the win.

Marc Andre Fleury put together a great game for his team with the save in the final seconds to hang on to the win. Great job! And Congrats to Sidney the youngest Captian to ever Hoist the cup!

overall amazing playoffs and a great finals! Looking forward to seeing the cup in Cole Harbour! (Again)

Go Nutz!

International Customers!

Hey,
Well yesterday Thursday, was a pretty slow day, Rainy and cold again. I set up for a bit anyways, with some minor success, making money is always good. But the cool part of today were the two guys who showed up to have a couple Big Dogs. They were from Germany visiting Nova Scotia and PEI for 14 days. First off they were so excited to see the cart, they said they hadn't seen anything like this anywhere! In Germany they do not have hot dog carts. Which right away I thought was strange because i thought Germany invented the Frank! anyways, the reason they don't have Carts is the government, I'm not sure exactly how the process goes but sounds like you need a million papers and permits to set up somewhere or, in their words, "The police will come and kick you off, and kill you!" ha But they loved my cart, taking pictures, asking info, i gave them the website to where i got it as well as my email in case they wanted to move to Halifax and Start their own.
Ha not only am i bring customers to RONA, I'm Bring people to Canada! :)

Keep going Nutz!
Shout out to Scott in AUSTRALIA! GO NUTZ MAN!

oh p.s One worked as a truck driver the other in the "FRANK"furt airport moving planes...

The Great Wall

                                   (The Great Wall in 1907)

You know whats Nutz?
...Well I was reading in a book I have about things to do while your alive, and visit the Great Wall was one, got me interested in it, so I looked up exactly how long it is. Did you know it would stretch from Halifax to Vancouver then back to Manitoba?!?!? I knew it was Great, but never really compared it to something I could related to.

Talk about determination and patience it took hundreds of years, and they say upwards of 2 million slaves died building it, then when complete up to 1 million men would guard it...CRAZY!

..oh but in the end it never really worked, The barbarians, and Mongols, would just find a way, or bribe there way across. Good idea though!

Makes you wonder if the purposed American Fence between Mexico, would just be a stupid idea. People will always find a way.

5x the Airmiles!

Yo,                             (THIS GUYS IS GOING NUTZ)
Well RONA is having a five times the Air miles this weekend. Saturday was a busy day at the store, as well as at Go Nutz! Again the weather did not keep people away from having a hot dog.
Hoping today is just as busy!
Also Rigged up my umbrella, after a lot of early morning metal work :S had to drill some holes in the bottom of the cart, to anchor a base that the umbrella pole could slide into. Seems to work so far, the real test will be at the store actually setting it up.

Well off to another day at Go Nutz!

Times and Location!

Hey 
Just received a message from a buddy of mine, Matt. And he made a suggestion that I'm surprised I haven't addressed yet. Where I'm located and times I operate. 
first of times, look to be 11am - till 4pm through the week. Fridays and weekends I may go alittle later, like 6, or 7 I guess it all depends on how busy it is. This first week I'm still getting the feel for things...

so lets go with 11am - 4pm for the most part

Second where I'm located. 

RONA! and that is here.

It's right there were all the dirt is, the google image was obviously before it was built.
but it is right there in the back of the park.

I'm finding there are defiantly a ton of things to do to keep this running 7 days a week.
Entrepreneurship is not for everyone, but it is for me. I always wanted to just work for ME and this is it!

Whats the ONE thing every Hot dog Cart should have?!

Go NUTZ

Nate!

Fortune Cookie

Hey Everyone!
My first Monday is done, and still things are going great, getting alittle more streamlined! Staff is loving it, hopefully they keep on loving it! Tomorrow I won't be set up :S I had a previous job to do, but will be back going nutz on Wednesday!
So I sat down yesterday, and had myself a Fortune cookie, my first one ive eating since I started the cart. And how ironic as to what it said, "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst" I've definatly being praying for the best and the business side, i've been preparing for the worst, it was my business motto on my fortune cookie. Included a picture.

Stay Cool
and keep Going Nutz!

First weekend 'Gone Nutz'

Hey
Well first weekend at Go Nutz is over, thanks to all who came out to show support, and grab a sweet dog. Considering being new, no signage, and Friday and Saturday being poor weather, it was all a success. As far as I can see if it keeps up, Go Nutz should be doing just fine!
I've found out that The Big Dog is the favorite, 1/4 pound all beef! then the sausage, then the Hot Dog.
Favorite condiment, I think is gonna be the relish, mustard and onions.
Yesterday I served a little girl her very first hot dog, she was loving it!
... until half way through she fell off the picnic Bench. :S
Overall a great weekend, Going in today, but will not be able to set up Tuesday, another commitment. But back at it for Wednesday and the remainder of the week!

Go Nutz!
