So 3 weeks ago Reid gets a phone call from a Chick fil A business consultant asking if Reid is still interested in Minneapolis. Of course he said yes! They had selected all 4 operators but 1 candidate decided to back out at the last minute. So the next 2 weeks are crazy for us. We are advised to do a site visit so the next day we pack up and drive 12+ hours to Minnesota from our current interim manager assignment in Beavercreek, OH. By the time we get there we are too exhausted to drive around or more so the kids are so we go to the hotel. Keillan decides this is the night to scream and cry for hours... Thankfully Emory slept thru it since we are in a 1 bedroom hotel. So next morning we are worn out but go check out the area. Check out where the cfa will be built, homes, schools, churches, shopping etc. That evening we went to the mall of America and let Emory ride rides at the nickelodeon theme park in the mall... He had a blast! Next morning we drive back to Ohio. The following week he gets an interview in Ohio. Then it goes silent for a week. Then Tuesday July we get the call that they have selected Reid as the primary candidate and would like for us to come down for the final spousal interview.
Shock. Absolute shock set in. No way Reid was selected for this. No way.
We are so honored, humbled and grateful for this opportunity. So Mid September we will be moving 20 hours to Minneapolis, Minnesota to open a chick fila in November! So excited! So wild!
I included some pictures of our road trip to visit Minnesota, home visit so we could interview and our photo of yes Reid was selected on July 1,2013 to open the Bloomington, MN FSR in November!
