Hi, we opened a brick and mortar art supply store Art Paint Draw LLC  Fall of 2024 in Arizona USA. I'm using squareup for my POS and trying to figure out how to integrate it into online sales for local pickup and for scheduling classes. It's been a learning curve for sure.

Welcome to the Community!

We own Mamie’s Toffee & Treats. We started 14 years ago as a way to save our home from foreclosure (we didn’t save the home), but we started a small business. 

We have had some ups and downs in the 14 years. We started out doing craft shows and farmers markets. We had a friend that worked for a park, where they had weekend concerts. We were asked if we could do concessions. I have a motto say yes figure it as you go. My wife has a different look on that side of me. We figured it out! We did really well for some years then they started bringing in food trucks. We still had a line so we were happy. 

Then Covid hit we’re sure everyone had issues during this time! We had support from our community and a bbq place that hosted us after things settled down.

Then in 2021 we purchased a shuttle bus to build out to help us grow more to provide our services. We built the bus out and started in late 2022 driving the bus. Wow 2023 we hit the ground rolling. We had one our best years. Then came the news the park we had spent so many years said no more food trucks or outside food service will be allowed. At first we were upset then took a moment to reflect. We had so many offers for other concerts. 

Then the shoe really dropped on us in October 2023. It was time to get a heart transplant. We asked how urgent as we already had events lined up. They told us by the end February if that works for us. February 21st hospital to run test again and numbers didn’t look good. Well fast forward 4 months hospital stay and new heart. My first thought was what shows are we doing. My wife looked at me said none. I didn’t realize how bad things had gone.
