Considering adding a few golf carts to the fleet. Do those settle well with the 30a locals? Trying to accomodate everyone.

Give it up, they will never be on your side. Many people move here and suddenly become tourist haters and feel they own the entire area. Your business will depend on tourists to survive, hope you do well.

Poppy, you are talking to a troll. There isn't anyone buying a bunch of scooters to rent them out based on a business plan of soliciting opinions on a message board, much less keeping the business name under wraps just before Memorial Day, not knowing where the shop would be until after scooters are bought (and a four month lease?!), etc. None of it makes sense, and the responses designed to agitate seal the deal. Trolling. No big deal but just realize what you are dealing with. As much as I hate the golf carts, there are no anonymous rental vendors. JDarg, you need to stop playing along as well!

Again, I am not troll. Based on the response that I've received from this message board, I would be insane to disclose my location or the name of my business. With the landlord having an empty building this close to the summer, he agreed to a 30% markup on his rent in exchange for a 4 month lease. I don't see that as too far fetched. The scooters will arrive on Thursday. My signs are going up tomorrow. I'll extend the same offer to you. I'l be happy to give you a free hour or two.

Hi Scoot! My husband and I opened a vintage sno ball truck here in 2011. We spent every dime we had making it beautiful. The county shut us down last year when we were parked in front of Pandora's in Grayton Beach. A local business (another sno ball shop) complained about us being there (they are no longer in business). It was very sad. I hope that the negativity on this matter will cease. I wish you the best of luck in your new venture. Scooters don't bother me personally and it's probably safer than riding a bike on the road. Good luck to you. I would love to come rent some scooters and take a nice cruise along Scenic 30-A when you open.

Also, don't feel like you have to explain yourself here. Just open your business and enjoy SoWal life!
