It's official

As of today we are officially Hometown Fitness. Yesterday when we began the blog we had attempted, well Eugene had attempted, to get our business license. A little bit of breakdown in communication led to an adventure for Eugene and the girls. In the end the girls got to run around the Allegany County Office of Development and Eugene was able to connect with the nice folks at the Allegany County Business Center in the Crossroads building. So our business license was delayed a bit. We did make sure the name was available so we could at least start this blog and create a logo.

Using a simple site called Vista Print that offers business related materials we created clean logo that symbolizes what we are about. It was pretty inexpensive and allowed us to order some start up promotional materials. We'd rather to put our money towards updating the fitness center than to spend a fortune on graphic designs. I'm pretty happy with what we came up with. I think it looks good, clean and simple. We watch a lot of HGTV and always connect with designers that follow that same philosophy, so Vern Yip would be very happy. Here it is let us know what you think.

So things are moving along nicely as we look towards a projected opening date of around the beginning of October. We should have a firm date to post soon. We meet with the insurance company on Monday and still need to negotiate rent with the owner of the building. In addition to that we have to install the security system and 24 hour access locks. Oh, and working with the local cable to establish a business internet, phone and cable connection. After all we are trying to be high tech so the need to be properly wired is a necessity, at least for me. That's it for today. Hopefully new and exciting updates to come.
