Stock Sales Complete
| The initial stock offering has sold out on time. David and I would like to express our sincere thanks to all investors who have made the financing a complete success. I have personally seen David work miracles in completing club construction in the face of dire cash flow constraints. Having every penny of the funding in the bank just as we break ground allows us both to focus 100% on building you a great club. Thanks so much! |  |
Aftermarket Shares Available
| For those of you who missed the ground floor investment opportunity, we ask that you not give up hope. Unlike most nightclubs our stock ownership program is not designed to enrich a few 'general partners' but rather to compensate everyone who invests with us. There are no onerous restrictions on stock resales and we already have a few investors who would consider reselling one or more shares. Please click the register link at the top left if you would like to be placed in contact with a willing seller. |
Success Factors in Place
|
We've hit the airwaves!
 | We're all excited to hear about Saddle Up Saloon! We get tons of e-mails and calls asking where they can country dance or hear live country music. Pete Michuda asked me to send you an aircheck of what we're talking about on the air. We've had a lot of people ask about your Saloon. Click here for a sample from this morning. We all wish you nothing but success! Roy Gregory/ WCCQ RADIO |

Our First Resale
We had our first sale of stock on the secondary market this week as two shares changed hands for $6,600 each. Future sales are likely to cost somewhat more as there were no shareholders willing to sell at that price. The two shares were ultimately sold by the CFO from his personal account. |
Breakeven
After just seven weeks open, the club has reached breakeven sales volumne and October's P&L shows a modest profit. |
