RDP members with businesses that can use a little help?

[GRADS]

I've seen a few people post up that their businesses are suffering. I don't want to mention names but I saw a guy that owns a bowling alley and also a guy that his wife makes cakes. They said their businesses have come to a stand still. I have a friend here locally that just opened a restaurant business and is suffering. We plan on going to his business a couple times this week to try and support them.

I think this thread would be a great place to post your business whether it be a restaurant or even on an online business that the RDP members could go out of their way to support.

Nice. If I need and see it here I am in.

For once, a meaningful post from GRADS!!

I own two tire stores, one in Cypress and one in Anaheim. Happy to help any members out.

We are starting to see the first wave of cancellations over the weekend. Not sure what’s going to happen now we have a couple plans in place depending on how the next couple days go.

 

[NicPaus]

I am out with my river neighbors now supporting all the local watering holes. My business will be hit hard but not my first rodeo. My main concern is my Guys and my family not having work. I have a check sitting here for another members business if we can get inspection tomorrow. I have work at my house and family home s I can create to help if needed. Don't be selfish in these times.

It's effectiving us. Possible laying off half my techs tomorrow. Don't want to do it but our phones stopped ringing and all our customers have no freight. Any one needs commercial fleet repair or maintenance were available. Premier Trailer Service 909-816-8961

I’d like to keep this thread on track, but for all small business owners- if you have to cut hours or lay guys off, use this resource. It’s more specific to COVID-19.

Please don't stop getting your dogs groomed due to this ordeal so the groomers out there can stay afloat.

I am looking at having our down stairs done in vinyl flooring. Ill be trying to order a box of planks that me and my wife have picked out to conform that the color is what we want to go with.. so maybe in a couple weeks we will be looking for a flooring installer.

 

[termiteguy]

I do handyman work mainly carpentry termite damage and dry rot repairs and general handyman. I have work for the next 2 weeks but after that nothing. I was booked about 3-4 weeks out but my phone quit ringing a couple weeks ago

What’s the restaurant your buddy owns? I’ll try his place and hopefully send some business his way.

We are obviously getting ready for what’s coming next.. Right now is usually our busiest time of the year for clothing etc..

We will be offering up online sales & rubbing some new designs. Typically we do two or three for Desert Storm. I think we will be doing one this year.

We are going to try and do as much online biz as we can because my hopes are diminishing on both the boat show and Desert Storm which are two major events for us.

im doing the same. the demo of our kitchen remodel tomorrow. Cabinets are already done. I thought about pulling the plug and delaying a but, but realized that’s how most these guys are going to survive. So kept it on and am hoping the best for myself.

basically worst case scenario, my1 week vacation might turn into a couple weeks

not sure if it would make a difference but I’m having issues with the brakes on my trailer. Maybe a little side gig for one of your guys to make a few $$

Put our deposit down last week for vinyl flooring. Will see if install gets delayed or moved up.

Big O Tires. Anaheim is off St College and La Palma. Cypress is off Cerritos and Valley View. What size are you looking for?

Will check and let you know.

 

[steamin rice]

Good idea. I`d suggest also including location since rdp members are all over the place. I will try to support some local AZ businesses

This may be the best thread of the year...
At these times I feel for the small business owners. A small shop is like another family. Owner knows all his employees, and may also work along side them. I am lucky in that I only have to really worry about my family and close friends. Anybody that has owned a business feels the pressure of that, as well as their workers' families as well.
As long as there are businesses open, we should spend with them. This is a time where unity helps. As hippy as it sounds, we're all in this together...
Hell, this thread was started by @GRADS , and no one has uttered "fuck off" once...

We had one of ours groomed today at Petsmart and business looked WAY slower than normal.

 

[Big B Hova]

The donut shop was empty this morning. That was kind of odd. I wonder how the mall is doing with all the retail stores?

 

[78Southwind]

This is what we did back in 2008 to 2009. We couldn't do the every other weekend trips to the river so we ate at the local small business restaurants every weekend.

 

[brgrcru]

great thread grads .

If anybody wants to do an event or party at a bowling alley , (Montrose bowl ) est. 1936 Glendale la Crescenta area. when all this gets back to normal . You rent entire bowl 8 lanes , bring in own food . We have 65 different beers and wine . I'm the guy . Going to do some open bowl , to see if I can drum up business. As we really only had one league , and a little open play , mostly just events.
we just got shut down from the governor , for any events over 50 .
I think it will be a complete shut down by next weekend ?

 

[GRADS]

Can someone start a new thread and post a link to this thread. A lot of people have me on ignore and I would like as many people as possible to see it. Or just start a new thread with the same message.

 

[Activated]

We never go out to eat on Sundays...it is always a cook at home meal.

Tonight we went out but I have to admit that our server was our daughter...gonna have to pay her rent one way or another. Lol

 

[brgrcru]

I heard , My bowling alley has to be closed completely. until further notice .
All public places are closed after 12 tonight .

[arch stanton]

We have had are trucks parked for the last week for rain and it looks like another week before it stops not allowed to track mud on the street or you get a 10k fine to the contractor if construction does not get put on hold the dumps should go back to work but I also have expanded into the Lowbed market with a 16 tire Murray lowbed work has been slow for that unit as we are low man on the totem pole for work based out of San Marcos

 

[termiteguy]

What areas?

South orange county

 

[EL PROPO]

small family machine shop (CNC MACHINES / SCREW MACHINES) , employing 18 people . Im waiting to see what happens im not wrecked yet but phones are slow and it will depend if my bigger customers that employ hundreds stay working . I won't feel effects for at least another 30 days, the it will get ugly fast.

You sounds like the Uncle Cooper commercials lol. I have Coopers on my commuter car. My first set of Coopers, but been really happy with them so far.

happy to help! We are running pretty deep discounts on both Coopers and Nitto’s until the 29th of this month.

Uncle Cooper (@Runs2rch) pushes the AT3, but runs the Nitto’s. Either are great, but I sell Nitto’s way more than I do Cooper AT3.

Ill be back in the shop later and get you some pricing.

I run Ridge Gapplers though. If I was going tamer it would be the new At3's. Ran the old ones. They were great tires.

I have Terra Grapplers on my F150 and have been super impressed.

We have been very fortunate and have solid contracts out for several years. We are definitely in for supporting local small businesses around us in Ca and Az.
I'll be watching this thread to look for our neighbors and RDP friends to support. Great post GRADS!
