Frank stood back and admired his new “open” flag. It was standing proudly outside his store in downtown Manhattan. “The white letters really stand out against the blue background”, he thought.
Frank headed back into his store and sat down behind the counter. His sales had been low the past few months and he was hoping for a turn around now that the spring had come. It generally happened this way, retail had a way of having seasonal ups and downs.
As he was sipping his luke warm coffee, Frank heard the front door open as a customer stepped inside.
“Hey, didn’t know you opened a store here” the customer said. “Are you new?”
Frank bit his lip… “Only been here for 15 years” he replied politely.
The customer took his time looking around and spent his money. Frank had hopes that business would soon be picking up.
