We found out from the Hunt Brothers reps that there was a gas station about 13 miles from here that served their product, so we drove out there to try it. We ordered a whole pizza–they only make a 12 inch–one half lotsa meat and the other half pepperoni, bacon, and mushrooms. Considering that the crust, sauce, and cheese are frozen, it is a fairly good product. It is meant to cook from frozen in six minutes, so it didn’t take long to receive, and the crust was tasty. The sauce is a bit bland for our taste, but that is true of a lot of the pizzas we have tried. We are happy to see that it is a quality product at a reasonable price. It should go well here when it is busy and hot and no one wants to cook, especially since the nearset restaurant is around ten miles away.

Today was a work day, but no one really knew what they wanted us to do. We knew that the reps from the pizza we are going to sell would be in the park at around 9, so we wanted to be sure to meet with them. We decided to take some cabin keys and begin cleaning one. We were radioed that they were ready for us before we finished cleaning the first cabin, so we left everything there and went to the snack shack for the meeting. They are from Hunt Brothers pizza, a chain that sells their products in convenience stores and other small locations. They looked at what we have and suggested what we needed to get opened. They want to make sure that customers know they are receiving Hunt Brothers Pizza and not just some no-name thing, so they require a certain amount of signage and branding. They told the managers and us what they thought the owners should order, and we made a list.

After the Hunt Brothers guys left, we finished cleaning our one cabin, then we took some time to go through the snack shack and make a “what we need to get this thing opened” list that the manager faxed to the owners. We also made a list of possible menu items we thought we could sell with the equipment we will have, and a list of groceries we would need to serve those items. That took the rest of our day, although we did sign out an hour early. They are pretty flexible about hours here–if they don’t have something important for us to do, we can pretty much sign out when we think we are done for the day.

Now we are just waiting on approval from the owners on what is needed, and the snack shack we are supposed to run for the summer should be open in no time…
