Ehhh, saw it coming. For the past three years, I've been the only consistantly profitable part of his operations. He made a baaad decision last fall, which resulted in losing our primary brand and two stores. I've basically been all that's left in our market for the past four months, but without a major line, and having the overhead that should be split up three ways instead going onto my shoulders... I've even suggested to him over the past two months that he needs to close up shop.

If he had only listened to some of my other suggestions... ;)

Interesting (to say the least!) right now. Larry, VPG, lb, and a few others probably know the reason why.

It's going to be a couple months before we shut down, in the meantime, I've got some feelers out.

Appreciate it, guys, but this is seriously nothing much more than a PITA for the time being. There's always opportunity...

Sorry for the job loss LD, but very glad to hear this. :)
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Sorry to hear this LD.

Situations like this tend to work out to be the best thing to happen to a person. I am sure you will find something you like.

LD that's a bummer.

Good things happen to good people....and you (and M&M's) are very good people. I predict this will turn out to be a positive thing. Meanwhile, keep on keepin' on. We're here for ya.

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
I'm sorry to hear it, but you have the right attitude for sure. It's a real shame becaus ethis looked so promising. However, you have the distinction of running the profitable end. That is the way to go out.
