WE’RE GLAD TO SEE THAT BIKE SHOP DOING SO WELL, BUT IT’S NOT A GREAT TIME TO BE A SMALL BUSINESS RIGHT NOW AND THE PIEDMONT TRIAD IN NORTH CAROLINA OR ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT YOU HAVE BE A SMALL BUSINESS IT IS BEST TO BE IN THE FOOD SERVICE INDUSTRY IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER BECAUSE GENERALLY SPEAKING YOU ARE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL IF YOU MAKE OR SELL ANY KIND OF FOOD PRODUCTS, I’LL GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS RIGHT HERE IN MY NECK OF THE WOODS HERE.
