This post will be long, but necessary.
I’d like to extend a thank you to everyone who came today. I sold out of literally everything. This was the busiest day I’ve ever had at Ashley Furniture. You showed up and supported me, and I can’t help but get a little teared up.
As I clean up my trailer for the last time this year, I reflect on all the people and businesses that have made it possible. I believe a few thanks are in order:
Gettin Toasted- for guiding me through my first year, Helping me with the ins and outs, and supporting my business.
Simple Simon's - for always being willing to help. You have been great to work alongside
Oh, Yum - for all the advice and help
LeDoux Signs- for the great menu work and decals
Vinyl Addictionz - for the outstanding shirt designs, stickers, and fast service.
Tellurian Brewing, Fat Hill Brewing, Main Street Mason City, Ziegler CAT, Clear Lake, Iowa(Thursdays on Main), Curries, NEW Cooperative, Golden Grain Energy, LLC, Riderz, Metalcraft, Rusty's Last Call - Thank you all for allowing my business to be apart of your events/catering. You all were amazing to work with and I am extremely grateful for the opportunities given. I hope to work with you all again.
Thanks to my loyal customers who have shared my posts and supported me every chance they could.
And lastly, to my entire family - Mom, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, sisters, this would’ve been impossible without all of your help.
It was a successful first year, albeit definitely not easy. I will always continue to strive upward. I think I have definitely made a lot of progress with
Deal-icious Dogs since the beginning of the season, but I’m not done yet. I will keep improving.
I will be available from January to March for catering.
Until next time
