I am still working out everything, business plan is completed and now we are trying to get financing. People are real tough when loaning monies to open new bars. I am hoping it still works out, but things have been rough lately.... I will keep you informed.

I am still hoping to, but just been running into road blocks. Banks aren't to hip on loaning money to new bars, due to the high amount that go under so quickly....

Yeah I was wondering that as well. What happened to your plan to open the old Carriage Town Inn as "The Kremlin" like in Semi-Pro?

Nope. Actually, the first Americans were sent there during the Eisenhower administration. We were "advisers", as in: "See that guy over there pointing the gun at you? I advise you to
DUCK!
" "Advisers" were not supposed to shoot first. |

Construction under way on two new downtown Flint grocery stores
While liquor and party stores abound across city neighborhoods, full-service grocery stores where residents can pick up fresh produce and meat have been scarce within city limits for years.
It’s not an uncommon issue among inner cities across the U.S., but it’s a common complaint among downtown residents, workers and an increasing number of students living here who say they have to drive miles for a full-service grocery store.
After environmental issues with underground gasoline tanks and financing delays, construction on Witherbee’s Market at King and University avenues has begun and interior work at Stevans on Stevens at Court and Stevens streets is under way.
Witherbee’s Market, a project led by Flint NIPP (Neighborhood Improvement and Preservation Project), has been in development for more than two years and demolition and environmental abatement work began a few weeks ago, said Amy Hovey of the Protogenia Group in DeWitt, a consultant to Flint NIPP.
“The construction should be done by the end of the year with the grocery store probably opening sometime late January, early February,” Hovey said.
Across downtown, Stevan Malone who lives on Ninth Street, said he was driving by a building at Court and Stevens streets in 2008 when he pegged it for a great spot for a grocery store.
“We don’t have any stores over in this general area,” said Malone, 53, who in 2008 took a buyout from the General Motors Flint Truck Assembly Plant. “We don’t have anywhere to buy milk, bread, butter.”
So he got to work and with the help of a loan from the City of Flint and labor from family and friends, he is working to transform a former paint store into 4,000 square feet of groceries, produce, meat, ice cream and even fried fish and chicken.
Building renovations include a new roof and windows, and inside the drywall is going up and the beamed ceiling has been painted. Malone said he is working to do much of the work himself to keep costs down and hopes to open around the beginning of November. |
