Old Town Plaza

As most of you know, Sound City is in the process of starting a coffee shop in Tumwater. I've filled you in on the sweet equipment we've acquired, the specialty coffee industry and our potential space in the Old Town Plaza. Currently the space we are trying to rent is in the bank's possession which is making the process of signing the lease move slower than we'd like.

We sent a proposal nearly three weeks ago to the property manager, who is basically the middle man between us and the bank, and she keeps telling us "It is sitting on their desk for revision. We will get back to you soon."

Our goal is to be able to have the lease signed and be in the space by Easter Sunday (our launch date). The bank is moving fairly slow and I'm pretty anxious to hear back from them. Russ Knight, pastor of Sound City, is going to be contacting them throughout this week trying to get some sort of idea about what they're thinking as far as the lease goes. Russ has picked out some other spaces that are available in Tumwater, but I must admit, our team definitely has our hearts set on this space.

Here are some pictures I took during our last visit:

It's obvious that this space is ready for a coffee shop to move in, and we are MORE than ready to set up! As this week moves along I'm asking my blogging pals to come along side Sound City and pray for this space this week. Of course, if this isn't the space that God has provided for us please pray that He would quickly shut the door so we can move along to other potential spots. I'll be setting an alarm on my phone this week for 1:29 to go along with Philippians 1:29 that says "For you have been given not only the privilege of trusting in Christ but also the privilege of suffering for Him." It's easy to forget that trusting in God alone is such a privilege. I can't wait to see what's gonna happen over the course of the next few weeks.

Thanks for the prayers and support!
