My friend's shoe shop

My classmate back in college called me last night, he asked me if I want to check him out down his shop next week. He started a business, a shoe shop. He always have the passion for shoe, actually he had given me a nice pair of shoe back in college and he said that his father brought it here from a foreign land. Well, he told me that he got a hectic schedule last week doing some renovations at his shop, doing some negotiations for his merchandise, getting some business insurance, looking for some employees, etc., because he is after for the shops opening date. I told him that he should get an assistant, to make things easier.
