Great opportunity for the right person.

Looking for the right person to lease the Snowball General Store for the upcoming season! This is a great opportunity for someone wanting to run a small retail spot without starting from scratch.
Season: March–December
Rent: $300/month Message The Old Snowball House
This person could open the store as much as they want, but they must keep Saturdays on the schedule. I would sell all the existing inventory, they would be responsible for the ice machine and soda machine, and pay the electric bill.
This could be a perfect setup for someone dependable, motivated, and ready to run a small-town store for the season! Great way to dip your toes in without a huge commitment.

It has been a mild winter so far in our part of the Ozarks, but that seems to be about to change. How are you going to stay warm?

When I see people posting their gas and electric bills this time of year, it makes me feel good to know that we decided to heat with wood. A couple of bucks for chainsaw gas, bar oil, and a little bit of elbow grease is all it takes to keep us toasty warm year after year.
