New Location Soon To Open

Our new location in Punta Gorda Florida is almost ready to open, we are putting the final touches on the paint and getting ready to hang up the amazing banners created by Signs and Wonders in our home town Fort Wayne Indiana. We miss everyone so much and appreciate all of their love and support on this mission that has been extremely difficult for both Jim (my hubby) and I. We will be located at 12350 Tamiami Trail in Punta Gorda. We still have to pass our water quality testing, electrical inspection, fire inspection and building inspections and believe it or not that is really close to being opened here. We have been working on opening the new sales location in Florida since last May.

For those of you interested in how our search began, please listen up. Jim, mom, Desiree and I made several trip to Cape Coral and Fort Myers Florida last summer. The heat was blazing and the weather as humid as being in the middle of a jungle. Desiree talked about our hot dog vendor days and said it was amazing at how many obscene areas of our body we were sweating in while looking for a house and a commercial location. This search went well into September and the move to Florida with all of our worldly belongings and the help of our family took place the next month.

In order to make this happen, over the past year I had worked on closing down all of my food service business locations and as contracts with the city expired I did not renew them. AS well as my teaching position for food safety instruction classes. Wow, 7 locations and my classes that was alot to ask to move south to build a new beginning. Faith was what I based my decision on. Growth in my company and the faith going forward that I could help people start their own business beckoned me to continue on the path south.

So here I am, over 4 months later, doors are going to open.. I am not sure what day at this point but I am sure that the work that I have put into this project, the toil, the tears and the disappointments will all be vindicated sometime soon. All will rejoice in the hot dog world, as the Queen takes her place here in Southern Florida and learns how to help those struggling to get their business up and running to stay the course, stay strong and be ready to ride the waves should they come your way. Tears, sweat and fears all conquered to open this location. Stay tuned as the best is yet to come from me, the Weenie Queen.
