Doug's new endeavor is well on its way. He purchased a franchise with Play N Trade and we are finally through the legal and corporate steps and are now waiting for our build out truck to be loaded and shipped. This truck has all the shelving, counters and wall signs for the interior. In the mean time he needs to build a few interior walls, paint the entire store black and install dark gray carpet. He is planning his "soft" opening June 27th and then his grand opening mid July! We have been told by other Play N Trade franchisees that a few franchisees are not happy that Doug was given this location because they wanted it. The demographics are perfect for this type of business. We sell new and used video games, game consoles and movies. The difference between us and the competition is you can play the game before you buy it and we also hold tournaments for groups. As the build out progresses I will post pictures.
With the gas prices only going up I was forced to sell my convertible Mustang GT and buy a 05 Camry. I must admit the ride is awesome and it has more pickup than I would have ever expected. I put 45.00 in the tank on Monday and I am only at a half a tank. With the Mustang I would be on my 3rd 45.00 so far.....
I hope everyone is doing well and it is time for the morning rush in this house so I must go!

WOW! What a great business. The interest in GTA IV is phenomenal.
I have never entered one of those stores and see no reason to do so. But it appears John would like to be your first customer.
Sounds like things are moving along just fine. With the entire family to help and I'm sure a few neighbors and friends, hopefully June 27 will come together in time.
Too bad you were not opened last week:
