Brooke Store

FOR RENT - $1500

We're going to be making repairs over the next month and then will be looking for someone to rent the store.

NOTE: We're only going to consider renting to someone that is going to make the store back into a convenience store for the community. Unless you all speak up saying that something different would better serve the needs of the community.

Beanz BBQ & Catering has asked if I think people in the area would be interested in Drive Up only BBQ or or Call Ahead orders. Please respond to let them know if there's any interest.

Sorry for the late notice but we will have the Smoker fired up today and selling BBQ from noon till gone. Please drop it to see us.

Looking for local contractor references for:
- General Contractors
- Electricians
- Well boring company
- Well and Septic company
- HVAC Company
- Window Company
- Flooring Company
- Plumbers
- Concrete & Concrete finishing companies
- People that work on building exteriors (thinking about a little stone work around the base of the building to clean up the exterior)

I would rather use local or somewhat local people if possible but will accept any reference of someone you believe and trust in.

Thank you,
The Cornwell Family

Good morning everyone

The very front of the store is going to be open today from noon to 5 while we make a few repairs and get a few bids from contractors.

We will be offering:
$1.00 - Chips and a drink
$2.00 - Hot Dog, Chips, and a drink

Please swing in and say hello if you're in the area.

Who's interested in seeing Ed Bean of Beanz BBQ & Catering setting up at the store again?

I will be there to meet all of you as well and talk about what you all want to see the store become, what are you most interested in seeing us stock at the store. It has to remain retail but what is it that every feels best meets their, and the communities, needs.

Does anyone know of a company locally that does this type of concrete work? The stores floors are all concrete and I would absolutely LOVE to do this to them if price isn't too outrageous.

The kids in the video came forward yesterday just 2 hours after this post went up and all of you started sharing it YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!! They showed up today as promised to meet with myself and the Stafford County detective at the store again and they, as I hoped, didn't have any priors and I held up to my end and didn't press charges and they immediately paid for the window that was broken. Just young kids breaking into what they thought was an abandoned building is what it boiled down to.

I also want to say a huge Thank You to Stafford County Sheriff's department. They had no idea I was working this from my side and came to me first thing this morning with all their names and history on them before I had a chance to call them to tell them we had a 4 PM meeting set up. The detective that contacted me this morning meet with us at the store at 4 to have a talk with the kids and confirm their information. I especially want to thank the Sheriff's Department for allowing me the flexibility to handle this the way I wanted to, they didn't have to they could have pressed charges on their own if they would have chose to but they allowed me to make the call.

Hopefully the next time I see these kids it will be as patrons to the store.

What a great SURPRISE we got today! Beanz BBQ Co. said that with all the great support Ed was going to go ahead and offer Brisket today and tomorrow both! I know that they started the cooking last night so get in there and get it before it's gone. :)

I"m excited about the new menu from Beanz BBQ Co. They will be there every day this week and adding brisket every Friday. They may start spending a little time on route 1, don't let them leave us. Visit them and make it hard for them to leave us. :)

Beanz BBQ Co. is only going to be offering lunch today so come and get it before it's gone! They will not be returning to the store until Monday the 14th but will be increasing their menu items and will have the ability to then take credit card payments. Excited to see them growing and grateful for all of your continued support.
