Ground Booty Day 2

With an early start at 10 o'clock we boarded the Frying Pan with a plate full of alluring brownies awaiting us from Corner Bakery. The brownies gave us an energetic start to the day. We gained the knowledge of vital skills such as the benefits and disadvantages of whole sale, retail, and the supplier. We learned that for us to buy whole sale and sell retail it would be more beneficial, instead of roasting our own coffee beans. After classroom work we decided on our slogan which in conclusion came to be "x-marks the spot, our coffee is hot." On our venture today through NYC offices we were able to find the office of Martha Stewart and we were given the number to contact her. During one of the many phone calls made we ordered possible baked goods that would separate our bakery/coffee shop from others by ordering from This Chick Bakes, a bakery that sells one of a kind baked goods. During the other phone call made we found out that during our 2 day business expedition we can raise money for the Tristate Bird Relief we can help birds affected by other oil spills, but we are torn between helping fishermen affected by the oil spill and helping the birds affected by the oil spill. This foundation informed us that no type of organization can participate in helping bp clean up the major oil spill. Later on today we learned that we may have the chance to have a shout out done for us on Martha Stewart's radio show.
