Owning the Lakeside Country Store & Grille here in the Fremont Nebraska State Lake Recreation Area is a challenging and rewarding endeavor that will be a true test of your strength, endurance, tolerance, and integrity.
During the peak season the days are long, busy, and strenuous. Between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day Weekend are your busiest most productive time of the year bringing in plenty of revenue to keep the business in operation. The lease agreement with the State of Nebraska Game & Parks Commission requires that the store be open for business at least 6 days a week 8 hours a day between the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. The lease payment that I have negotiated at this time is 2% of Gross Receipts.
We have chosen to close on Tuesdays simply to serve customers that are extending their weekend a day after Sunday, also there are no orders made or vender deliveries scheduled, and from past sales records Tuesday tended to be the slowest day of the week. Closing Tuesdays also allows us to do a thorough cleaning of the store, clean and maintain equipment, and also allows us to run necessary errands around the area. We have concluded that a standard day of operation works out well with the hours going from 9:00am through 9:00pm. Hours have been adjusted to meet the needs of our customers. We have posted that we “Close @ Sunset” simply to inspire people to fulfill their needs before it gets too dark but as posted “If we are kept busy, we will stay open”. (We have served customers as late as 11pm but this is rare). In the past we did stay open past dark but it became concerning to me when parents would allow their very young unsupervised children alone out late in the dark. The Fremont SRA also closes and locks the east gate at 10:00pm causing a dramatic drop in customer traffic flow.
Our kitchen hours were set up from 11:00am to 8:00pm weekdays and 8:00am to 9:00pm on weekends with a breakfast buffet on Sundays that usually does very well. Patrons to the lakes usually “attempt” to make their own breakfasts on Saturdays but give it up and treat themselves to a Sunday buffet. Kitchen hours were cut to control the cost of labor.
There have been a few days of inclement weather conditions dealing with extended rain and storms where we reluctantly decide to close up shop due to the lack of patronage. Also since the buildings here would not be safe under severe weather conditions we have been known to lock up the store and seek shelter ourselves.
It is possible to create revenue during the “shoulder seasons”. That is the month or two before Memorial Day and a month or two after Labor Day. Revenue may be generated during the shoulder seasons but you will be subject to seasonal weather conditions.
We have opened the business as early as March and ended my business season as late as November offering goods and services to Fremont SRA guests.
I had intended to make more improvements to the business such as closing in the back room making it a comfortable three season room, serving Kettle Corn, getting a big BBQ spit going, and possibly getting a mobile concessions vehicle but those improvements were thwarted when the Nebraska State Fire Marshal condemned the hood and Ansil (fire suppression) system in my kitchen due to new safety regulations forcing me to put in all the funding ($50K+) I had for my before mentioned improvements. At least now the kitchen has been updated, improved, state inspected, and up to code. (The previous owner neglected to inform me of her previous inspections. It was very foolish of me to trust in the seller and not have the kitchen officially and thoroughly inspected).
The owner of this store will have to be licensed in many areas. There will be a Food Service license, an Egg Handler license, a Litter license, Bait license, a Sales Tax license, and a Tobacco license (if you choose to sell tobacco). I am not sure if the State Liquor Commission, Dodge County, or the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission would approve of a license to sell alcoholic beverages at this SRA location (I never attempted to apply). The State Department of Health and Human Services may require you to become a Grade 5 Water Tester to send in water samples from the well that services the store and home. We here at the Lakeside Country Store & Grille do NOT serve any water from the well to the public so we have our water bottled in (this is why we charge for water and ice). The well water at this location is heavy with iron giving it an odor that wouldn’t serve well to our customers for drinking or cooking. Our well water is primarily used for cleaning and filling minnow tanks. The public is restrained from touching it.
(FINANCIAL STATEMENTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED FROM THIS DOCUMENT PER REQUEST OF THE REALTER).
In this document I was showing the numbers that this business alone was pulling. My P/L statements are greatly affected due to using the store for my corporate write offs.
It’s YOUR business plan that will make your own profits, NOT MINE.
Many expenses incurred and not included in this list were items that are not directly related to the operations of the business Lakeside Country Store & Grille but were charged to the operations and expenses incurred through the functions of the GCB-Limited Liability Corporation (GCB-LLC) including travel expenses, insurances, and many personal family related medical expenses. There were also building and equipment purchases, updates, and repairs that the business had incurred under my watch and these would not affect the net profits of a new proprietor. This place is my financial tool.
This is a simple explanation as to why the Lakeside Country Store & Grille tax statements have never shown a profit on the bottom line under my proprietorship.
I purchased the Lakeside Country Store & Grille as something to keep me busy after my “retirement” from a telecommunications company after 23 years of service. I wanted to “be my own boss” and see what developed. I thought a seasonal business would be perfect giving me a summertime job and a vacation all winter for a few years until my pension and social security kicked in and then I could officially retire. The business can sustain itself while in operation but I have found it necessary to work at a job in the winter to make the mortgage and utility payments. (I treated it as if I’m buying a house). You literally have a private house on a lake with no lease payments in the off season.
I had every intention to run the place as a “break even” business by running efficiently and keeping my prices down giving my customers quality items at reasonable prices but I did incur some unexpected surprise expenses that hurt the bottom line. I never had any intention of gouging people with overpriced items although I know very well I could have and would have been justified in doing so. Some people have told me that I’m way under priced compared to other concession locations around the state.
Within the six years of ownership I have undergone not only the stress of running the business along with loosing my Brother to cancer, a beloved Pet to cancer, removing my Mother from her home, placing her in eldercare and have her pass away, my Sister passed away from cancer, a temp cook died from a fall in his home, and two days later my other cook was Life Flighted to an ICU with a brain aneurism (recovering). Each one of these occurrences has resulted in affecting the business’ bottom line with the necessity of temporarily shutting down operations during some peak periods to ending the business season early in order to assist in handling very stressful friend and/or family situations.
I’m proud and privileged to be approved and allowed by the Nebraska Game & Parks Commission to purchase the business and serve our guests. I was able to have this business to help friends that had lost their jobs by giving them some temporary work until they got back on their feet. My Dad (deceased 1999) had wanted to run this place but never got the chance, my Brother was so very proud that I was running my own business, and my Sister thought it was such a neat and fun thing to do. I gave a lot of kids their first jobs and made a lot of new friends. The cook that suffered the brain aneurism now uses this place as therapy to help him recover from his current physical conditions.
I want to step aside and give someone else the opportunity to purchase and operate the Lakeside Country Store & Grille but I’m not going to just give the place away. Some potential buyers have seen that the business hasn’t shown great profitability and have been giving me ridiculously unacceptable low offers from them just looking at the numbers and not looking into the great potential of the business itself. I have not shown great profits because I have been confronted with great and overwhelming situations both emotional and physical but no one seems to want to concern themselves with these facts. A person has to approach this business with drive, compassion, and a desire to succeed.
I need to let go of the business because since it is physically and emotionally draining with the long days and the stresses that go along with running any business putting a great strain on my health so it is medical reasons requiring me to move on but I can and will hold on as long as it takes until I am given a decent and fair offer.
