Opening Weekend Recap

Overall I'd say we had a pretty rockin' time this weekend. Only major hiccup was our point of sale computer system which just did not want to cooperate. Otherwise everything went pretty well. We still have a long way to go. Expect:
  • another 40 or so cheeses in the next couple of weeks
  • house-made charcuterie
  • a full line of sandwiches including our house cured pastrami and corned beef
  • more grocery product
  • other fun stuff (way to be vague!)
I want to give special thanks to all the Macalester folks that came out and visited the shop over the past couple of days and to all of the local business folks that have been talking us up the past few weeks. We are very, very excited to be part of the community.

Greetings from Chelmsford! Congratulation on the opening. We find the blog and virtual shop interesting. Will try to get out to see the real thing one of these days.

If you are looking for new products for the shop, can I put in a plug for
Dean's Beans, fair traded, organic coffee (and Kosher).

Cheers,
Judy and Gerry

We stopped by on Sunday and picked up a sandwich and brownie. The sandwich was excellent, and the brownie was decadent! You were right, we would have kicked ourselves if we didn't get one!
