Hello all, I haven't posted here in awhile and see so many new users.

It's been a crazy year for me with many ups and lots of downs. Glad to see the user base growing as well as MJ's growing popularity.


Hoping to start a blog here soon to share my journey and hopefully I can receive some input and ideas from people as well as give some insight of what I've learned along the way so far for those here that are starting into the same path of a retail fast-food business/franchising.


P.S. here's the link to my groupon:
