Why We Love Losing Money

How does a company start from nothing, grow and thrive for 45 years, and sell items for less than they cost?

Only by building long term relationships. That means innovating, executing, and taking care of every customer like they are the most important person in the world.

But even more than that, it means caring. Caring about customers, caring about employees, caring about quality, and caring about doing the right thing.

 🏢 Boosting Tucker’s Downtown Density

During the September 9th City Council meeting, the council reviewed an ordinance proposing a zoning change that would increase density in downtown Tucker.

This is very similar to the previous ordinance that failed to pass (6-0) in April. As reported by Decaturish, the updated ordinance would:

• increase density along Main Street from 24 to 35 units per acre

• remove height minimums

• allow increase in height maximums via Special Land Unit Permits

Tucker city staff recommend increasing the permitted density to support downtown businesses, encourage new development, and create a more vibrant downtown. The second read of the ordinance will happen in October.

 📰 Other 9/12 City Council Updates

❤️‍🩹 (UPDATE) Support Sherry’s Produce in a time of need

Last week, we shared the difficult news about Junior from Sherry’s Produce. Although they successfully raised the initial $20K, they need additional support.

Read the update below:

Hey y'all it's Tina. Update on my Dad (Sherry’s Husband). We got the down payment to get him into rehab. His blood pressure bottomed out today twice at 73/48. So praying we get that figured out. He can't move his left side but he can feel touch so thats awesome that he has feeling. We have hope that he will be able to eat solid food and get back on his feet. Unfortunately it's gonna cost $42,000 for him to stay 16 days in here. Thank you all that have given on the gofund.me you have no idea how loved we feel. Thank you to those that couldn't donate but sent prayers and well wishes. Everyone counts and helps. I'll update on my Dad's journey.

Let’s band together and support a beloved Tucker family and business! Here’s the link to their gofundme page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-juniors-stroke-recovery-journey

We’re hoping for a speedy recovery for Junior!
