its a No Go, for Go Nutz


Well I called the Walmart DM, and he hadn't Received my proposal as of yet (3 weeks later) so I explained to him my idea, and he advised me to call the Head office of Wal-mart. He said that there may be a conflict of interest, with Mcdonalds.

SOOOO I called up Wal-mart Head office in Toronto where I was placed on hold to speak with Ross. I explained to HIM my idea and proposal and was quickly turned down as he said they have a licensing agreement with Mcdonalds and that they allow no other food services on the premises.
Another example of the giants not tossing a bone to the little guys.

but if thats there policy then thats there policy. I will move onto the next spot.
I'm going to attempt to Re open talks with Kent.

Progression, But Progress?


Well The other day i wrote up my proposal to Wal-mart to set up outside their store.
I handed it in as well. So that is in and its now a waiting game to see if they approve me, being outside their store! Here's hoping.

And also I have been in contact with the organizers of the Ideal Home Show at exhibition park. Its a LARGE home show for people looking to renovate, update or just purchase products for their homes. Its a Large crowd of people. The lady i talked with forward my email onto another lady, But Bev, the first lady i talked with said she loved the company name! :) that may work out to me a profitable weekend...
So like i said i'm making Progression, but untill i start hearing Yes's I'm not making Progress...

"The Hot Dog Proposal"


Well things with Wal-Mart are going alright so far. I guess they are the best looking prospect
as they are the first place, to not say no to the idea. The store manager listened to the idea, and then asked me to write up a proposal about the idea and submit it to the district manager.
  • Step 1 Write Proposal - Done.
  • Step 2 Deliver Proposal - Not Done.

    Then its hurry up and wait. Hopefully THIS is the Ticket to Go Nutz Beginnings!
Well if i get the proposal into him on Monday, chance are i will hear back on friday or the week after... SO we will see how this goes!
I'm Prayin!

Still Working on Securing a spot


So, I've originally tried Future shop, but they are managed by SmartCentres Property and they have a no Vendor Policy. Then I tried Home Depot but they have a concession stand in the store. Then I moved onto Kent, and was told they and Irving companies have a no vendor policy as well. Then went over to Superstore, but they have a meals to go inside so I didn't bother with them, SO down the way to Wal-Mart I went where they said they were owned by the property company RCS. Who i have called but the person i need to speak with was busy...

Calling back now to see if i can park out front of Wal-Mart..

Here we GO!

Still in Talks



I guess this is what you could call getting stuck behind the red tape.
Having to talk to this person, get permission from that person, emails, return calls
But if i'm going to do this i wanna do it all right.
Just takes time.
In talks with Smart Centres building company that owns buildings in the park (Bayers lake Park)
about setting up on their property. Hopefully hear back from them tomorrow I'll let you know how THAT goes!
