SAVE VERDEGOH! SALE – This Sunday, October 2nd from 1-6PM at 1027 Columbia Ave.

Hello everybody. Even though we finally got our Car Dealer License a couple of weeks ago and we were poised to turn the old Pewitt Brothers Gas Station into a very cool electric vehicle service and conversion center, we are at the end of our rope with VerdeGoh!

The prolonged struggle with the City of Franklin for the past six months (to get these facilities open) has drained all of our cash reserves. Quite frankly, we’re out of operating capital. Our attempts to secure additional capital through equity partners, an SBA loan, etc. have been thus far unsuccessful. Catherine and I have had our home on the market since May, but we’ve been unable to find a buyer. Proceeds from our home sale would have gone towards VerdeGoh!

Catherine is again teaching math at Father Ryan High School and is very happy. I  returned to selling signage and branding services early this past spring. Our home bills are covered (thank God), but we are facing a mountain of debt for the VerdeGoh! project.

So, we’re going to have a big “garage sale” this weekend! From 1 to 6 PM on Sunday, October 2^nd, come by 1005 and 1027 Columbia Ave. (the buildings are side by side) to VerdeGoh! We’re going to raise as much money through sales that day as possible. Some things that will be happening that day:

1. We will have some great DEALS on a lot of the old VerdeGoh! General Store fixtures, displays and merchandise. We have a  few really cool pieces and antiques, etc. that many folks really pined over at the old VerdeGoh! General Store. Now’s the chance to get a piece of history!
2. If you’ve been in the market for one of our TOMBERLIN EMERGE street-legal Low-Speed Vehicles/Golf Cars (http://www.tomberlin.net/#/section/emerge) THAT DAY will be the day to get one! We’ll have special pricing and discounts on Sunday. Plus, you’ll get a 10% Tax Credit and we have financing options from 24-60 months!
3. We have several New Demo Electric Vehicles that are for sale. We have a few different Electric Low-Speed Vehicle VANS, an LSV E-TRUCK and our Camo ELECTRIC ATV (perfect for Hunting Season!). These vehicles need to move. They will have SPECIAL pricing.
4. We’ll likely have our friends from No Gas out of Nashville bring some of their very cool, retro-looking Electric Scooters down for display. They will also be for sale!
5. PAINT! We still have our paint mixing machines and quite a bit of MYTHIC ZERO-VOC/NON-TOXIC paint left over. We’re limited to certain sheens and bases but we can make you a great deal on some paint if you’ve got a special project and are flexible.
6. We’re also working on having a special food vendor on-site and maybe some other fanfare as well.
7. It’ll be family-friendly so bring the kids. You’ll also get to see the building and the genesis of what the new VerdeGoh! could have been, or with your help, still could be.

It’s still a long-shot, but with your help, we may be able to save VerdeGoh! We’d still have a bit of a climb, but your support could buy us that critical extra time and funds to pull this thing around. Thanks for all of your support and love over the past few years. See you guys on Sunday!

Thanks,

Josh
