Snowmobile Inventory Loft

Well, we officially completed the 800 square foot loft at the BK shop. With the help of DMI-Contractors, we had it up and loaded in 2 weeks. There are a couple things to finish it off, but stock is on the shelves and customers are loving it. We finally have the room where we can have customers browse through our sled inventory.

It is great to have it all organized and accessible. This also opened a lot of room on the ground floor for boats and full machines.

Please stop in for the tour and say HI!

Consignment of the "Kon-Tiki"

If you are a boater on the Chain o Lake in Northern Illinois, then you know of the 'Kon-Tiki'. This is one of the Party barges from the FoxFun.info website. It was used for bachelor / bachelorette parties nad for general water taxi use.

The owner of this boat and a local restraunt/bar has hired us to do what we do....GET ATTENTION! At 40 feet, this is the LARGEST boat we have had up for sale, but size doesn't matter to us.... If it needs to be sold, we are the guys for the job.

It is going to take a specific customer to buy the 'Kon-Tiki' (meaning light raft made of Balsa) but with the whole country at our doorstep, we will find that guy who is thinkin...."I need something different....I need something unique....I need....A Kon-Tiki!"

Please check out the eBay auction here for more info on this nice vessel.

Bk Golf Cart @ Walla-Pa-Looza

The largest Cancer Benefit Concert in the area just occurred over the weekend and we helped were we could. We donated the BK golf cart to the event and it became the pizza runner for '1/2 Time' Pizza in Johnsburg. I talked with one of the volunteers and she said that she knows of 45 pizzas that were delivered with the cart. Each trip was a bout 6 pizzas. About an hour left in the concert, I got word that the cart was out of gas in the Half Time parking lot..... luckily I brought a small can of gas with me that night!

I am glad we could help with the event and it was great to be a part of it.
Thanks and 'great job' to all of those involved!

Pardon Our Dust

Well we have finally used all the space we possibly can in our Lakemoor, IL location. With 1200 sf to work with, we have found ourselves tripping over, squeezing in, stacking, and losing things everyday. To better serve our customers and to keep our own sanity, we have decided to build a loft in the back half of the shop.

This loft will bring us about 800 sf of pure storage. The plan is to have shelving in rows with just enough space for a person to walk between them. The front of the loft with also have a chain fall so we can hoist motors out of boats (something that we can not do all the time at the moment). I thank all of our customers for allowing us to make these renovations because if it was not for you we would have no need for the new 800 sf storage.

Thanks

Stop in for a BK Lunch

LUNCH TIME!

April (co-owner Mike's wife) has been pounding the pavement each day from about noon to one selling lunch. Many people (like ourselves) do not have time to leave the complex for lunch. Even if you did we have 2 options a $9 hotdog from the corner place, or a $6 value meal from McDonalds.

So April had the idea to service the complex with the BK Cart & Grill. For the BK meal you get:
Dog, Chips, Pop - add all the toppings you want for no fee. Still hungry? Add an additional dog for a buck!

Hows that for a deal, and better yet... WE came to YOU!

Stop in to say hi, and grab a bite!

Fox Lake 4th of July Parade

This was our 3rd year in the Fox Lake 4th of July Parade. This might have been the best yet. We introduced our goofy mascot, Cpt. Strip'n'Ship. We had a nice turn out for walkers in the parade too. I think we really made an impression! A lot of cards went out and a lot of High Fives were thrown. I love doing the parades because you can have a great time and spread the word about BK.
