Hey Pepper...
When are you opening...I have yet to be up and want to make sure I dont miss your opening....
Also will there be outside seating in case somone brought a four legged friend.

Pepper · 05-23-2008, 06:11 PM

IslandSib - we're working like mad to get open as soon as possible. Hopefully in two weeks!

To answer your other question the answer is YES. There will be outdoor picnic tables overlooking the stream - it's quite pretty out there.

I'll post a better update as all the pieces start coming together.

SAMIAM · 05-23-2008, 06:15 PM

Saw your "opening soon" sign,Pepper.......can't wait to stop in.I'll bet that the new location will be a huge success for you.Best of luck.

Went by the new location yesterday and did not see the plane.It was a little sad to see the plane missing from the old WP's also.

jetskier · 05-28-2008, 11:18 AM

I heard that the airlines have offered her a newer plane as they are becoming un-economical due to fuel prices. Likely a 747.

We drove by this weekend and saw that the sign is up. It looks like a bit more work inside and some outside work is all that is needed.

We drove by the new location this morning and the plane is still there, sitting on the left side of the property with the wings removed. The view of it from the road is mostly blocked by a large white truck, but it's still there!

gtxrider · 05-30-2008, 12:54 PM

Pepper I hope you open up on time since I am driving up 2 weeks from tomorrow! Jonesing for a LOBSTAH roll!

SIKSUKR · 06-02-2008, 09:21 AM

Thanks DRH.I probably didn't see it cuz of the wings removed.I'll; be there in 2 weeks and hope she's flying again with an open sign on it!

You can only see a portion of the tail behind the truck on the left side of the building...but it is there.

The outside of the building does not show much activity; but, the windows are covered so it is difficult to tell what the ETA will be. There is a sign on the car dealership down the street indicating that Pepper is hiring...so, I am sure that it will be soon.

Pepper - you will need to get rid of all the cars behind the building...they are UGGLY

At the Grand Opening, Pepper and Waldo give each customer a "WP PUNCH" card. With each World-Renowned Lobster Roll purchased...the happy diner gets a punch (on the card). When 10 punches are completed...the now Very Happy diner gets to walk out back and choose a car...which MAYBE will start, and drive home. (Some of those cars look like they have $1.25 /gallon gas left in the tank)...Eventually...

Pepper · 06-02-2008, 10:06 PM

OMG you guys have me cracking up!

The cars have been slowly leaving, a few at a time. The remainder of them should be off the lot by the end of the week. Hallelujia!

We've been making a ton of progress inside and out. New well has been drilled. Fire alarm system is almost finished. Electrical is underway, plumbing is underway, fire supression is underway. Walls are finished, kitchen equipment all steam-cleaned and waiting to be placed. Tile in restrooms starts tomorrow, along with several other projects. Dining room is almost finished, and interviewing process is underway. Landscaping has begun, sign is now in place, menu is almost finished.

The plane will be be undergoing some intense refurbishment, so it will be a little while before she's flying.

Wait till you see where she lands!!!

Meanwhile, we're almost ready to welcome everyone! I'll let you know soon!!!!!

SIKSUKR · 06-03-2008, 07:35 AM

Lots of fun opening a new place isn't Pepper?Hard work for sure with so many different items on the checklist as you just pointed out.I'm working 4 of the next 5 weekends Pepper so my only chance to get there until mid July is June 14/15.Crack that whip so I can fill my belly at all new WP's!Good luck!

Oh darn ... I was going to buy 10 at one time, get the card punched, then drive them home in my "new" car.

Clearly you have not seen these cars. You would be TOWING IT HOME.

I think that the gas in the tanks is probably the most valuable part.

I think you're right!

The best part about them is - they're almost all gone!

But my tongue was firmly planted in my cheek

jetskier · 06-13-2008, 10:34 PM

We drove by tonight (actually did a u turn in the parking lot - yup that was us

There is a large crew wiping down chairs in the parking lot...gotta believe that it is going to be soon.
