Do you have a designer??

Did you buy a shop with a staff and accounts?

 

[Mindy661]

Yeah when my nanny bought the shop Liz the designer came with deal thank the GOOD LORD in HEAVEN. We would have been lost without her.
She was the only that worked here. We had a few accounts but all of previous HUGE accounts got given to the previous owners grandson who works at another shop in Bakersfield. We didn't find out the previous owner did that until we went to let the account holders we were the new owners and they let us know what the previous owner did.

Did you buy your shop with a non-compete clause or have a lawyer involved??

Good reading to you.

It seems you are already a full member... so welcome. However, what posessed you to buy a flower shop with no knowledge of the industry?

Welcome Mindy. I'm sure you're having quite the learning curve. Hopefully you're enjoying it somewhat, too. This is a crazy biz.

 

[Mindy661]

no lawyer and im not sure about the clause but it was not in the contract at all and FTD did not tell us about the Mercury system either

 

[Mindy661]

Well my nanny felt that she need to make a living some how because no wanted to hire her because her age, but I told she should not get this business because we did not know anything about it but here we are today

 

[Victoria]

Thanks for your candor.
