It was bought on December 30th by a guy named "Tony" (he's actually Indian, and I guess he thinks we can't pronounce his name). When he bought the store, it was doing $4k a week. If he hadn't bought it, Papa John's was going to close it. <br /><br />The delivery area is rural. There are two shopping centers, four gas stations, four traffic lights, no townhomes, no apartments. If you see a police car, pinch yourself, you're dreaming. <br /><br />Back to the story. Tony started bragging about how he was going to hit $10k in sales per week within the first month. This didn't happen. He broke $8k for the first time about five weeks ago. LAST week started out ridiculously slow -- $1200 or so by closing Tuesday night. Tony made the mistake of promising to buy tickets to "Matrix: Reloaded" for the staff if he hit $10k that week. <br /><br />When the store closed last night at 11pm, Tony had broken $10k by about three bucks. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Phoenix</b> <br /><small>Member # 966</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,20,2,18,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">May 20, 2003</span> <span class="timeformat-0">02:18 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> And I opened this thread thinking you were giving away free tickets. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Shame on you. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#A3B9CC"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Lee</b> <br /><small>Member # 393</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2003,4,20,3,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">May 20, 2003</span> <span class="timeformat-0">03:53 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> We have a Papa John's.
