NWI INGO General Thread #27 - Fresh Pink Air On US-30 smells like...

[Max Volume]

They have been sliding down. We used to shop there exclusively, but that has been changing the last year or so.

Yes they have. I used to cut Earnie Strack's (originator) home lawn as a teenager and have said he is rolling over in
his grave due to the service or lack thereof.

I use stracks often. They are just too conveniently located for me not to. Prices up and quality down is a common theme in the current state of the economy. Costco has become the “bulk” of our shopping we do one big trip a month. Stracks fills in all the gaps. Come summer time……. Hoping to have most of it growing myself.

Strack and Van Til bought Wise Way. Albertsons's bought Jewel. The Van Tils on 169th Ave. in Hessville, near the 169th/Kennedy intersection is not part of the Hy-Vee deal as it is independently owned and not part of the Strack and Van Til chain.

Talked to a former employee from 1101 and the two owners couldn't agree on who's responsibility
tasks were so they are closed.
Guess it's Elements in Highland, Level Up in Dyer and Karma now. I alternate.

Coownership is difficult

I imagine corporate buyouts and business partnerships are very tricky; however, if these two companies merged, I think they'd really have something.

Right. Imagine co-ownership with the wife. Almost 40 years now. I had hair when I started down this path! Glad we're almost done with it.

Coownership is difficult

The man that taught me carpentry 42 years ago, went in partners with his best friend when they first started out on their own.

He got burned. He once told me never go in partners.

Three years later he tells me he is going in partners with another contractor. I told him, a very wise man once told me to never do that. He asked who, I said you.

He wound up getting burned again.

I really like him to this day, I felt really bad about it.

The worse buisness partners are family.

I once knew a guy that wanted to do a partnership on a small airplane and told him I don't do
partnerships. If I can't afford it outright it isn't happening. Whadya know, I haven't talked to him
in five years.

 

[repeter1977]

Business is always tricky, especially with friends or loved ones. Granted it's even more tricky with a stranger too.

Hmmm....

I was the original owner of 1101. I sold it to one guy who I know ran it individually for several years. I wonder if he sold to 2 guys? Or if he took on a partner? It did look closed when I went buy last.
