Soft Opening

>> Sunday, May 17, 2009

These past ten days have been somewhat interesting. On these days I have handed menus to the surrounding businesses, sat out back on the Pinellas Trail giving menus to the people walking by letting them all know that we are now open for business. I also went to our Historic Downtown area— which is not too far— and also passed out menus to the local businesses. I have done mass faxing and Mimi has been putting menus on cars that park in our lot. All part of our marketing.


Every day we have had people coming in to see what we are about. Some have purchased from our menu and others have come to wish us success leaving with a menu in hand. The locals of Dunedin, I must say, are delightful. They like to know your name and for you to know theirs on hopes that you will remember it next time they come in. I really enjoy being part of a community where everybody knows your name. And let me say— they love to converse, and that’s where Mimi is a big attribute apart from other things. Being a bright college student who has spent her last 4 years in the Virgin Islands makes our customers more inquisitive. While Mimi holds a conversation with them about her adventures and knowledge in many topics, I can prepare orders without rush. When orders are ready they leave with a smile on their face and thank Mimi for the conversation and do let us know they will be back. So, needless to say, we do indeed have five regular customers. In the ten days they have each visited us several times. That, of course, is our mission, quality food and a pleasurable visit to keep them coming back.

On another note, we now have a food critic on our blog. Laly is my youngest daughter, also a bright college student, who enjoys trying different foods. On occasion, she will be dropping in to try the items on our menu and will post her honest opinion. You probably might think, since she is part of the family, she will only have good things to say. Not necessarily so. When it comes to food, Laly will give you her most honest opinion. Then, of course, the only true way of finding out is by you stopping in and trying our delicious gourmet sandwiches for yourself. Till next time…

good luck with the deli! If I were in Florida I would stop by in person! I read Mimi's blog and decided to visit her new venture.
