Taste of Tuscany

Hi folks, been pretty busy with the past summer so I haven't had a chance to respond. Yes, I've closed Tuscany in Mltnboro. AKADQ, thanks for the good wishes & you pretty much nailed it except, yes we were robbed but I seriously doubt it was employee theft. I believe the thieves came in thru a window with a broken lock on it. Also, I don't know who is gonna take it over, I think it may just be leased as office space. I hadn't heard that the video store is gonna expand.

The whole thing (Tamarack & Tuscany) started off with myself (Jim) & my 2 brothers Mike & George. One brother (Mike) wanted to go off and do other things so the 2 remaining brothers (myself & George) bought him out. Last winter Georges family (out in the Midwest) ran into some health issues so he had to go out there & help out for what he thought would be a short time. Well, as these things happen,
it looks like it will be more of a long term thing so I bought him out. That left me running 3 places & sorry to say, I just wasn't up to it by myself. Tuscany in Mltnboro suffered because I just didn't have the bandwidth or experience to oversee it as it deserved & I apologize to all of you out there for that. Not too sure what I'm gonna do with Tuscany in Laconia this spring. On a positive note, Tamarack did quite well and I can't wait for spring !

Sincerely,

Jim Clayton
