Scratch the dream is coming true!


A little over 9 months ago, my husband called me with some devastating news. He had been laid off from his job. At first, I didn't know what we were going to do, but Matt knew that when one door shuts another one opens. Matt LOVES cooking and he has always talked about opening a his own restaurant. However, he knew a restaurant was just too big of a task. So he jumped on the food truck bandwagon. The idea was that he would cook upscale comfort food on a mobile food truck. Matt spent countless hours researching and writing a business plan. Finally, he was ready to go to the bank and ask for a loan. After meeting with 12 bankers, one said that believed in the business. It took over 2 months for the Small Business Association to review his business plan and last night we got the most exciting news to date- his loan has been APPROVED!
So within the next few months, be on the lookout for the Scratch food truck! Matt will be focusing on the downtown lunch crowd. However, food trucks are the hottest trend in weddings right now. So, you never know, I may be sending my husband a Circle City Planners' time line sometime soon.

Congratulations Matt- I'm so proud of you!
