Beginers Luck!

Okay, so we have now been open for just barely six weeks and I think it is safe to say that we have been initiated. So far in our endeavor we have had one hot check, two separate shoplifting events and two break ins. (Both break ins were this week.) Needless to say, we are in the process of adding security measures, not that there weren't some in place before. Thankfully the suspects have been arrested on multiple felony charges each. We can only hope that they stay in jail longer than just a few days.
All in all the store looks fine, and our emotions have recovered. (All except for Nick, who was devastated to read in the police report that he has grey hair now not black as he had previously thought.) What can I say, it has been a rough week.
There is a silver lining here, they say there is no bad publicity and we are certainly going to get our fair share from this. Both the Jenks and Glenpool papers are doing a story on the break ins as well as a local news station. Not to mention the fact that it is a hot topic of discussion around town. All of this exposure should help us recoup our losses and continue to grow our business.
Here is the link to the story on the news:
