What's the biggest challenge facing your type of business, and how are you approaching it? Finding a permanent place of business, buying a building. One day at a time. Have a real estate agent for a student, so he is helping me look.

What's the biggest change you would like to see in the business climate in this area? I would like people to stop buying on the Internet when a lot of the time, they can find it for the same price or less here in Milford. Perhaps a Milford shopping Web site with coupons and deals to promote shopping in Milford.
