He did not provide a number, no. I asked multiple times though…Posted On: Mar 23rd 2020, 3:37 PM #394525
There is no number because money is not the cause of the problem. The lack of customers is the problem. What drives traffic to the store: Students, families visiting their students, sports, fans going to sporting events, recruiting weekends, any activity on campus. All of that is on hold. You can't say that $50K will save the store when you don't have an end point. $100k doesn't save the store when you don't have an end point. $200k can't save the store if you don't have an end point. What if school gets cancelled until the end of the year or beyond? What if football gets impacted or even cancelled? I want to be proactive and put the control in my hands. I cannot make decisions based on guesses or assumptions. I just can't and I just won't.Posted On: Mar 24th 2020, 12:44 AM #394526
Spoken as if you had a finance or marketing degree. How close to campus is the store and near your sports venues..

TALON - I'm guessing the the "Owls Time" founder biggest competition is the on campus book store for Owl memorabilia and clothing. A place that is visited by your students and visitors comming to campus before any of the on campus sports games. Thats hard to compete with unless Mr. Noll has a strong on line store with unique items.

So is this a new owner now in a new location or was this all just a fraud ? There is still a store open but just in a different locationPosted On: Jun 18th 2020, 8:50 AM #395149
That was answered in top of the thread:

This is Mark. It's Owl Time as a business (my LLC) is closed. I was able to sell my entire inventory and Domain name (ItsOwlTime.com) to the owners of another business in Boca. They own 2 businesses (Runner's Edge, and Tennis Anyone) on Federal Hwy. They created some space in their store for FAU Gear. I am no longer associated with it. But they seem to be really good people and I am very happy there will be options to buy FAU gear. I hope everyone will support them.
It's been the most satisfying 7 years of my life, to create The Store. It was a great run, and now it is time for the next person to carry it on.

The new owners have sent out one email or ad to me so far, so that is good!
