If you've always wanted to run your own business in Land Park, here's a chance to land your very own ice cream and coffee shop for $150. The catch? You have to write up to a 300-word story about why you are qualified to run this business and pay your $150 entry fee.
The shop, "Here's the Scoop," is located at 3051 Freeport Boulevard, between Weller and Bidwell. Ron and Melinda Rucker have owned the ice cream store for 7 years. The Ruckers are hoping to receive enough entries to cover the cost of the contest and market value of the store. They say the store netted $85,000 in 2007.
Here's the Scoop was once a Baskin Robbins, so you know the location is suitable for an ice cream store. It sells Gunther's premium ice cream but is also frequented for its delicious smoothies and ice cream cakes.
The contest closes on November 30th and the winner will be chosen in early 2009.
