A novice cheesehead finds a home!

Hello all! It's a good Thursday morning, and I just stopped in at our new store. Of course, the hum of activity isn't from customers just yet, but of contractors right now! We just finished up a manic week of painting and the place is really taking on it's own personality.

My family (aka partners!) worked alongside myself on our one sunny and dry day in the Midwest this week to paint their hearts and souls into the grand old building and bring it to new life as the Brick Street Market. The colors we have chosen - a buttery yellow, a heath green, and a brick red are like a new makeup pallette for the old girl, and she is truly beautiful. We did a good old-fashioned 'walk-about' last week to meet some of the other main street proprietors and our friends at City Hall. As we strolled into other businesses on the downtown main street, I was struck by how many other businesses have settled on this quaint street to share their passions with their friends and neighbors.

We have settled on a look for furniture and fixtures, and it is now arriving fast - so as each piece is put together there is less room to move around, but more visioning what wonderful product will be placed there. The walk-in cooler was installed over the weekend, our two beautiful new True Deli cases are in place and as I turned them on last night, i could envision all the wonderful cheeses that would find a home there.

I am anxious for all this contractor talk to turn into cheese talk - so come back here soon so we can talk cheese!
