The Forgotten Utility

So, we just found out this week that our gas had never been turned off by the former tenant and apparently they just realized it.  Everything we cook with is electric, so we weren't planning on worrying with it until winter because the only thing gas is used for is to heat the building.  Well, it's winter (close enough), and it never even crossed our minds until the "gas man" turned up, letting us know that we needed to call and set up our account right away so he wouldn't have to disconnect us. They're about as bad as the electric company with their security deposit, but we learn by experience, so the first thing I asked was if there was any way it could be waived.  As expected, there was...by a Letter of Irrevocable Credit from the Bank or a Surety Bond from our Insurance Company.  Again, from experience, I knew the letter of credit wouldn't save us any money, so I called the insurance company.  Thankfully, they will do multiple surety bonds, and they're all on top of it.

Little by little, everything is coming together.  We finally made the paper, and more people are coming in that never even knew we were here in Sheridan, and open.  A lot of people also don't realize we're locally owned; they think we're a franchise - I guess because of our theme-y look.

We're still kind of watching the sales.  What days/times are best, etc.  We're planning on giving it to the end of the year to see what our final hours will be, but we appreciate all of our customers, and we want to make sure you have a tasty experience with us.

I'm adding a new poll, so vote for your favorite soup!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Enjoy the holiday and God bless!
