Getting ready for MOBILE!!!!

Finally it’s happening! I’ve really been talking about and looking around Mobile for a second location for quite some time now. like 3 or 4 years. I’d get hot then cold then hot again … you know . Downtown, Midtown, west Mobile, Spring Hill. All over. Finally things fell into place! So the Old Loretta’s space on 19 S. Conception Street. 2 blocks off of Royal and smack dab in the middle of Dauphin and Government! Great spot! I got very close several times as many a landlord and real estate broker can attest, but it took a third look over a 2 1/2 year period combined with one persistent Lewis Golden with Drummond Group, and a great landlord in Chris Hunter to finally get me to “shut up and put out”! I gotta thank my long time mentor Bob Omansky (Wentzells) and Gene Bishop (Morrison/Wings) for continuing to answer my calls (long after I’m sure they both believed it would never happen) for advice.   And most of all Mobile would never have even been a consideration with out such a successful FAIRHOPE location!!! Ms. Bessy and the French Quarter Family were and still are a big source of support! The amazing CREW in Fairhope has been so solid! I can’t wait to see the ”core” group continue to grow and succeed! I only hope to be able to offer great opportunities to a TEAM that derserves it! I hope there is lots of hungry folks downtown that will come give us a try! My “Superstar” little sis Cheryl is taking the reigns in Mobile and “Rock Star” Shelby will be holdin it down in Fairhope!   Me… the Monkey in the Middle as usual!
