We officially opened on Friday (slurpee day).
The last couple of days before opening things really started to come together. It was nerve racking because on monday we had a final inspection from the city only to be told (wrongly I found out later) that we needed to do a quick removal of a door and a small wall to a closet. I did my best to not stir the water because I realized that my opening of the store would be quickly affected by the whims of the inspectors. Tuesday I got the business license and thought that I would try to open immediately. Well then it was brought to my attention that we should probably finish as many of the small details on the building as possible and open because we should and not just be cause we can. Wednesday and Thursday were the days where everyone worked like crazy to put together last minute details. Thanks to Troy, Brad, Cameron, Xander, Valene, Oliver (otis) Simon, Milly.
This was a major milestone and I am glad that the store is open. The next step is to refine and improve the operation. If nothing else the mantra that I got from Lester of U Cycles in Colorado "be nice to everyone" is what we will operate on.

I think I'm in love!
Yay! Looks so good you guys-way to go on all of your hard work. I love the art wall! Can't wait to come check it out-I'm glad you will be nice to everyone because I don't know crap about bikes-and usually just buy something like a tube or a helmet or something...
