We acquired shop # 36 on Monday.
Our team had coordinated all the vendors to hit the ground running.
Construction crew, internet, alarm system, dumpsters, inventory, all the staff, district managers, corporate support.
It was a sprint the minute we got the keys.
Demoing the customer waiting room was the first thing that happened.
Most companies would close for a week....but us?
We setup a temporary counter + waiting room in the shop!
Not ideal but you do whatever it takes. We tried to Uber most people home.
Outside we installed temporary banners and ripped off the old pizza hut style roof ripped off.
The new one goes up tomorrow.
We didn't get our Google listing finalized until Friday
All of the staff was brand new. We hired the managers 2 weeks ago to start training at another shop.
Finished at $14,000 in revenue which I'm happy with considering all the chaos.
The last store we opened from zero in July it took 3 weeks to do over $14k.
Our goal next week is $20-25k then eventually this should be a $30-35k/week shop.
I'll be sharing more details on all the work that went into getting this shop opened this week so stay tuned.
Insides Tuesday's Cash Flow Club email I'll be sharing the EXACT spreadsheet I use to budget this locations start-up costs and monthly cash flow.
This will be valuable for anyone looking to buy a business this year.
Cheers!
Brian
