It’s Raining Cats and Dogs
Brentwood (May 2) - [1] - Brentwood City finally has its very own cat café called Catastrophe and dog café called Hotdogs, both opened by owners Kevin and Ginger Blake, Both cafes opened last month to fanfare and a great deal of press coverage. - [2] - "Business has been booming,” says Kevin Blake. “We knew wed be successful; we just didn’t think we'd be this successful.” Not only are customers enthusiastically flocking to both cafes to hang out with the animals while drinking coffee and tea, many of them are adopting the animals and giving them forever homes. - [3] - “We thought it would be a good idea to take in some of the animals because of the overcrowding in many of the shelters,” explained Ginger Blake.

Maybe one day I'll find a dog that I really want.” - [4] -
Because of the success, the Blakes are considering expanding by purchasing the adjacent shops. “We need more space to fit all our customers and the animals,” explained Kevin. “It can get very crowded at times.” The Blakes are looking to renovate the dog café next month and the cat café during the fallRelax and unwind at New Wave Spa!

Hello, I'd like to get an update on the progress of the drapes that the Manillo Family ordered.
Lucy Mitt (9:41)
We're still waiting for the lace silks from Hand-Made Lace but we received most of the other fabrics yesterday. Our seamstresses will get to work on those today.
Bill Flake (9:42)
Then do you think the project will be completed by this Friday as the Manillo's wanted?
Lucy Mitt (9:43)
I'm not sure. It'll depend on when the lace arrives. Our group can start sewing some of the pieces together, but we need the lace to complete the intricate designs.
Bill Flake (9:44)
Can you contact Hand-Made Lace and find out when the shipment arrives?
Lucy Mitt (9:45)
Actually, Richard is taking care of that. Any word from them, Richard?
Richard Choi (9:45)
Yes, I just got off the phone with them. There was a bit of a delay because the lace artisans used the wrong silks. They had to re-work the lace. We'll receive them this afternoon. They sent a rush delivery to US.
Bill Flake (9:46)
Excellent. Then can the drapes be finished at the end of this week?
Lucy Mitt (9:47)
No problem. We'll work around the clock to get them finished on time.

Subject: A warehouse
Dear Mr. Scott,
My name is Steven Mason and I work for the consumer electronics company Turner Electronics. I am currently scouting for a warehouse in the Pittsburg area. As you know, having an effective distribution strategy is critical for every company in today’s fast-paced business world.
Therefore, I am looking for a warehouse located in the outskirts of Pittsburg. The warehouse needs to be located close to the highway. We are shipping a high volume of products, so we would prefer a dedicated warehouse to be used exclusively for Turner Electronics operations. A warehouse with a spacious loading bay for large trucks is necessary. Additionally, a warehouse that also has office space would be ideal. Because of the valuable nature of our products, we would like a warehouse that provides precautions against theft and damage.
I look forward to hearing your response soon.

Subject: Re: A warehouse
Dear Mr. Mason,
It seems that as your company expands, you would like to improve the operations of your distribution network and deliver products to sellers more quickly. We have a variety of warehouse options, and I trust one of them will fit your company’s needs. All locations have a state-of-the-art security system as well as experienced staff.
Location 1 —$3,499 per month for a 10,000-square-foot warehouse space shared by multiple businesses. Because this location is a shared operations site, we offer it at a discounted price.
Location 2—$5,500 per month for an older warehouse located in downtown Pittsburg. This warehouse is currently empty, and therefore can be used by your company exclusively. It also features a walk-in freezer.
Location 3—$6,500 per month for a very spacious warehouse located a few miles outside of Pittsburg. Although currently used by two other businesses as a storage space, it can be converted into a warehouse only for your company.
Location 4—$2,600 per month for a medium-size warehouse. This warehouse is provided at a discounted price because it has no area for trucks to unload cargo conveniently. It is best for smaller-sized operations.
These are the locations currently available for use. If you have any questions or would like to visit a location in person, please contact me.

Dear Mr. Scott,
Thank you so much for responding to my inquiry so quickly. Although none of the warehouses is exactly what I was looking for, I think the best option for our business will be Location 3. This, of course, is contingent on the other two businesses moving their storage into another warehouse. Our operations, as I noted in my first e-mail, are expanding, and I want to make sure that we have ample room to grow. I am delighted that there is security at your warehouses as well.
I have some time early next week if it would be possible to take a walk through Location 3. I think once I get a feel for the space, I will be able to make a firm decision. Please contact me by phone at your convenience so we can set up a time.
You can reach me at (351) 546-9899.

Dear Mr. Carter,
My name is John Morris and I am a small business owner living in the Millville area. I am currently in negotiations with 24/7 Fitness to open my own location here in Millville. As someone who works with 24/7 Fitness, you would help me a lot by sharing your opinions.
I am interested in how you assess 24/7 Fitness as a franchiser. I operated several franchises in the past, and I always found that trust and honesty are the most important factors in a successful relationship. More importantly, I was also wondering what kind of support is provided by the parent company. Before opening your location, did you receive adequate training to allow you to smoothly begin operating your business? Any advice you can give me would be much appreciated.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Morris,
I am happy to provide some insight into the operation of a 24/7 Fitness franchise. I have been working with 24/7 Fitness as a franchise owner for 10 years now. I actually run three different branches now. I completely agree with you that trust and honesty are the two most important aspects of any business relationship. On that count, I believe the fact that I own three franchises is testament to my faith in the franchiser.
Let me put your mind at ease. First off, 24/7 Fitness has a very specific way that they want their brand to develop no matter who owns the branch. The parent company will not only provide training, but they insist on controlling the actual layout of the facilities from the locker rooms to the free weights. They want any of their 3 million members to be able to walk into any one of their gyms and feel at home. Until you have been operating for one full year, you must make monthly reports to corporate headquarters detailing all aspects of sales, membership, and a flow chart describing the usage of the facilities. It really is hands on until they have confidence you can represent the brand. I hope this helps you decide to join the 24/7 Fitness team!

Zack Carter - April 5—Clearwater Hospital in downtown Scranton has launched a new pen pal letter-writing program between terminally ill hospital patients and adult volunteers. Hospital Director Zack Chambers, who was recently presented with an Outstanding Leader Award from the National Health Care Alliance, started the program to create stronger connections between the hospital and the community. Mr. Chambers encourages adults of all types and occupations to apply even if they don’t feel completely qualified. Simply visit the Clearwater Hospital website and become a member of the hospital free of charge.
“I hope through this program, volunteers can form close relationships with patients to help them get through these difficult times in their lives,” said Mr. Chambers. He also hopes that the program will lead to more people visiting terminally ill patients in person.

Dear Jessica,
You don’t know how much I appreciate your kind words. Although the staff at Clearwater are very kind, I feel the need to connect with people who are not part of the staff. My surviving family also live a great distance away, in Florida, and so most of the time I am just communicating with the paid staff or the other patients. I would welcome a visit, if you truly wanted to come, and the best time would be for our meeting is the Thanksgiving holiday party here at the center I suppose. My own family might be here as well. If it is too much for you, or if you can’t get the time off of work, don’t worry about it too much. I do hope that we can continue to communicate through our letters.
All the best,
