I can hardly wait for Wal-Mart in Poulsbo.

My wife and I had a store in downtown Poulsbo. The politics and the backward business approaches were self -defeating. Until all the old timers in the town retire, business will be the same.

Anybody who lives in Poulsbo does not shop in downtown Poulsbo. It’s strictly a tourist town. It is also about a four or five month profitable business. The rest of the year is nothing.

I only hope people will smell the coffee and wake up!
