Our business does not consume great resources, <br /> III <br /> nor cause pollution. Often misunderstood, our business sells products which are less dangerous, <br /> less costly to insure, but more heavily licensed and regulated than local businesses who might <br /> sell paint, fuel, or strong detergents. <br /> We do not compete with other local merchants. Since we draw the bulk of our income from <br /> outside of Minnesota, and since our products are unlike those offered by other retailers, we tend <br /> to compliment and support other local enterprises. This is in stark contrast to Walmart and <br /> similar big-box stores, which tend to quickly kill off local competition,then hire the experienced <br /> former business owners and key employees. <br /> Track offers a unique opportunity to Elk River. Our business is ideally matched to old <br /> downtown Elk River. Unlike historic heritage events which may last one day or one weekend, we <br /> live and breathe the pre-1898 time period every day. Our products closely match those found in <br /> early Elk River. <br /> We propose a period storefront that will please the eye, inside and outside. Our staff members <br /> and our customers are likely to be clothed in period dress, especially during special events, and <br /> many holidays. We will draw an unusual mix of customers to Elk River, including a few who <br /> travel great distances to seek our sales and services. <br /> Downtown Elk River will be a showcase for our products, and we will have an influence on <br /> the city's complexion. By our example, we will encourage other property owners to restore their <br /> buildings to correct early appearance. We will strongly support the city's plan for a river boat <br /> park, and similar projects. <br /> In conclusion: • 'I <br /> If your decision will based on merit, we urge you to recall these facts when deciding: <br />
