End of a Chapter
Yesterday I made the hardest decision of my life to sell my gas stations. As of March 1st, I am no longer the franchisee of the two gas stations located on Matlock and I-20 in Arlington, TX!
Sis was tired! I may look like I’m having fun and laughing daily, but the struggle that business owners go through is something unimaginable behind closed doors. Yesterday was my first real night of sleep!
When I started almost 7 years ago, I was bright eyed bushy tailed with no kids! lol since then I have grown a family with almost 3 kids (one on the way as you can see) and ran a successful business at the same time. The goal was not to do this forever, but to live a chapter in my life that most dreamed of and I have done just that. I am thankful for the time I have been there, and although a blow to the community, I believe that I have accomplished what I needed to as a franchisee. I walk out, sad because I will miss the place, but happy and my head held high because I know that selling was the right thing to do to make me happy at peace 🤗
I want to thank the 7-Eleven system for embracing me. I made some enemies but I made even more fantastic people that bust their behind EVERY SINGLE DAY to make sure that people like me were comfortable. Franchising systems aren’t always perfect but it’s the normal personable people inside that you make connections with that make your time so much better!
I want to thank my family for being there to support me since day one of birth but even more when I took on this adventure. They were there to see me cry, sit with me at the store when I had to work night shift and always had my back.
And last but certainly not least, I want to thank the RAEHIVE!!! Yall put in work to support me like no other from day one. From driving out of your way to come into the store to purchase items and buy gas to shouting me out on social media and spreading the word about my locations. It has been nothing but love. And it is something that I will
