Fantastic Field Trip to Three Storefronts


Friday the 14th we went to three different types of businesses in Rockbrook

1)  Pets R Us, which has been in business for 18 years owned by Dave and Barb as a Corporation, was our first stop.  They had five dogs lying behind the counter.  Do they like animals or what?  Dave gave practical advice on being a long-time business owner. 

2)  Across the street at the Great Harvest Bread Co., which is a franchise,  was the co-owner, Mariann giving us a great overview of the hallmark of their business, great product and great customer service.  They advertise by "bread of mouth!" 

3)  Our third stop was at Laurie's Piano Studio which is a newly opened service business which offers Simply Music, an Australian-developed piano method.  She gave us a first-hand account on how to move a home-based business to a storefront.
