At new locations you are responsible for the grand opening. Vendors which have to be approved by corporate and in a small town you often only have the one vendor. They also require a contract which they run via legal which often takes weeks. Then getting a check cut from corporate for the vendors was a disaster. No one in Houston has the concept of small town. I was given three weeks to find tent rentals, chairs, food, clowns, radio entertainment, photographer, decorations, chamber for ribbon cutting, media, fire department trucks, etc with no budget amount, no idea on volume and then corporate that slow played every bit of the process. Finally on the day of the grande opening staff showed up at leisure and my boss over slept and showed up two hours late. No one knows what they are doing and no support.
