Tremont Goodie Shop Owner Turns to Social Media For Help
September 10th, 2009 Posted in Social Media 
As many have heard over the past 24 hours, The Tremont Goodie Shop in Upper Arlington has closed.
After 53 years in operation, the store in Tremont Center has closed its doors. The well-liked
Upper Arlington bakery posted a sign in its window this week with the simple reason: the
economy.
First a brief history. The store was opened in 1955 by Bill Wood. Wood sold the store to James Krenek (Doraine Cooper's
father) in 1965. For the next 40 years, the store was passed down through the Krenek family. In 2006 Paul and Doraine Cooper took ownership of the store. And now in 2009 the store is closing its doors.
Fear not fellow sweet-toothed citizens! A previous owner of the Tremont Goodie Shop is trying to reopen the store. Debbie Smith owned the bakery with her father, James Krenek, from 1993 to 2006 and is currently negotiating to keep the Tremont Goodie Shop alive.
The exciting part? She is turning to social media for help! Debbie has set up a Twitter account and Facebook page to spread the world about her efforts and to gain support. Debbie is organizing an event on Facebook, Picket the auction to save the Tremont Goodie Shop, and is asking members of the community to help her bid on all the Goodie Shop equipment at a public auction on September 27 so that she can use the equipment to reopen the store. Debbie is also Tweeting about the event and asking for support from her Twitter followers.

If you are willing to buy real estate, you will have to receive the credit loans. Moreover, my sister commonly uses a small business loan, which seems to be the most firm.
