2008 ... we're movin' on up!

Happy 2008! Made any resolutions?

I'm working on one, fun, stressful, challenging, freakin' huge, and ultimately rewarding, resolution for the year. Get the roastery out of the basement and into the light of day!

There are a few things that have been in the hopper and continue to be, but basically, I've got to do three tasks to get Rouge Roastery working for me...

1) Line up space (anyone know of any 1000 sq ft retail space for less than $1000/month in Detroit near Campus Martius, in Mid-town, or maybe near Indian Village???)

2) Complete the financing (it's started, but waiting on final numbers from item 1)

3) Nail down the marketing and grow the business (after all, I have to justify the move out of the basement, don't I??)

2008 should be a pretty exciting year. So grab a cup of joe and come along for the ride...
