I've been asked a few times about doing a crowdfunding campaign to kick off our fundraising to get Simplicity Gluten Free off the ground here. I have a few ways you can help us out.
** An Update! I believe I have found the perfect location where we can call our first location a home! Tyrone Square Mall in St. Petersburg has a few spaces available and the one that I believe will work best for this concept is the old Ruby Tuesday Space. The mall is willing to work with me but we will have to completely renovate the space which will not be cheap. The price tag I am currently looking at and expect it to rise with inflation is around $650K! (I know, that is a lot of money but its actually less than it would be if I had to purchase a deep freeze/fridge, conveyor dishwasher and some of the other equipment left behind.)
To just give us money to get our start, you are welcome to send money to our paypal account. http://paypal.me/simplicityglutenfree is how you can find us through PayPal. CashApp is $SimplicityGlutenFree
Venmo is @SimplicityGlutenFree

Shop through our Affiliate Links that will be posted in the site and here in this blog post! The way this works is that you click on the links and shop like you normally shop and then we get a small commission that will go back to the business. None of this money is going back to me personally.

For those wondering why I am so passionate about starting this restaurant concept and keeping it debt free.... I have a few reasons behind it.
I took the Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University classes many years ago. This helped our family out so much over the years but one of the things it really drove home was how much debt really holds you back from what you want to do. (www.DaveRamsey.com/fpu if you want to see what I am talking about.)
Stability. Debt will steal our stability. I will already have extra expenses that most restaurants don't have in having to pay for such as the gluten free testing and labeling. Its very expensive. Our ingredients are also more expensive than most other restaurants so that will be something else that has to be considered. Labor costs would already be higher because I have a niche business that requires more training than most other places.
Debt will limit us, Goals cannot be met until the debt is paid off so its so much easier to not go into it with debt!
Chris Hogan is one of my heroes. He is so much more eloquent than I am and states it well in this article: https://amymorinlcsw.com/starting-a-business-without-debt-an-interview-with-chris-hogan/
Kevin O’Leary (Mr. Wonderful from ABC’s Shark Tank) is saying the same thing... https://www.cnbc.com/2020/10/14/kevin-oleary-the-no-1-mistake-that-can-destroy-your-business-.html?fbclid=IwAR3riLp0Dzx5gyPZRN_RdP9vSZ53HFt4_PVw95HryJlMG9m8OHxqmah5SMY
I like staying within limits of the money I have and lots of stability so we'll keep going with our debt free approach! Thanks for supporting us!
