I don't see the benefit of two separate checking accounts, just more fees for the bank and more work for you and your partner. As for the phone - sounds to me like more of an expense again. Even if Charter doesn't charge a fee for this, if you're using a cell as a business phone why would you want it to ring to your home? In my experience, most people answer a home phone with "hello" which, by …   more ›

City Revises Farmers' Market Rules

Changes allow gardeners and developing farmers to sell at the Arnold Farmers' Market.

Arnold Farmers’ Market commissioners have revised the bylaws to allow gardeners to sell their homegrown produce at the Saturday event held at the Fox C-6 Middle School property. “This change will positively benefit both established farmers that currently sell their produce at the market and those green thumb backyard growers who are new to the market,” said a city news release issued Friday afternoon. Market customers will also see more seasonal produce sold. Anyone with questions or comments about the changes should contact Arnold City Administrator Matthew Unrein at 636-282-2383 or Arnold Farmers’ Market Manager Terry Long at 636-282-2380 ext.1403.

What Business Should Go Into 233 Arnold Crossroads Center?

Cici's Pizza is actually sandwiched by two empty real estate spaces.

A few weeks ago ArnoldPatch said that there is a vacant commercial business real estate space at 231 Arnold Crossroads Center. There is another vacant space at 233 Arnold Crossroads Center. Cici's Pizza is located between two vacant business spaces. A new sports bar and grill will open at Arnold Crossroads Center, near the intersection of Hwy. 141 and north Jeffco Boulevard, in the near future. So what type of business should go into the "other" vacant space? The business would have a large corner location with large panoramic windows on two walls. Nearby are fast food restaurants China King, Panda Express, Fazoli's, Arby's, Wendy's, and Steak n' Shake. A sit-down Italian restaurant, Terrazza Grill, the Drury Inn hotel, the Pear Tree Inn …
