awww, thats soo sweeeet! he bought it to help the town keep its only grocery store and the town in turn helps him, volenteering there, this is how the world should be, selfless acts and helping eachother out!
I am taking Business Administration at my University and he is in my book.
ISBN: 978-0-07-351170-2
I feel that it is great that he would be that considerate and try to help others out in his town . Even if the store got shut down, it was the thought and effort that was put in it that counts!
What a wonderful kid, this Nick! And what is wrong with people who are so critical & writing such nasty remarks...lighten up, this is the story of someone, albeit quite young, who saw a bigger need & stepped up to meet it. He should be getting cheers! I was taught if I didn't have something positive to say, keep it to myself... maybe some people need reminding.
they sure are fat! up there in minnesota they should stay out of the frozen pizza, dairy, and canned cheap beer section LOSE WEIGHT ESPECIALLY THE FAT BETWEEN YOUR EARS YOU STUPID MINNESOTANS!!!!!
NEWS FLASH! Nick Graham has second store manager quit within a 3 week period. Following the loss of his book keeper/manager at his Rolfe store, for mistreatment of employees and harrassment, the manager walks out of the Huxley store after finding empty condom wrappers and feces stained underwear scatterred about the store office.
If you are considering working with Nick Graham, do yourself a favor and go to the communities that he does business in, currently Fontanelle, Rolfe and Huxley Iowa. Talk to the citizens of the community, especially the local bankers, town council members and economic committee. You will find that his overall approval rating is very low. Also seek out his former employees, he has a habit of creating a hostile environment for you if you arent a pretty teen girl that he isnt interested in.
I unfortunately have gotten to know this Reprobate individual Nick Graham, to celebrate him as some American Success Story is grotesque. He currently is operating a handful of stores in Iowa that are a complete mess, he ran from his dealings in Armstrong, Mn like the coward he is, after his incompetence ran that store into the ground and was in breach of contract with the investors/owners. His position was that things didn't work out so he shouldn't have to continue to honor the contract.
The reality of Nicholas Graham is that he is for all intents and purposes a fraud. His company Truman Wholesale is a phantom company and exists in name only. Ironically, he doesn't even have a wholesale license. His "Ponzi" type schemes trick community leaders and tax payers to front the money for his project with promises of great things but once he has cash in hand, he delivers a substandard product and bleeds it until he gets run out of town. Balard Creek Market, Huxley IA is a great example.
@MyBeautiful713 , sorry that you had to smell him for all those years in school. I am guessing that he didnt bathe back then either....and douche is much to kind of a word for him
i think this is really cool. what's the big deal? the kid is beyond his years in realizing the importance of COMMUNITY. why is everyone talking shit to each other over that? isn't that what youtube was originally supposed to be? a community? ah, humanity, you never fail to fail.
@GeneFlygene What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Even if I was a CEO of a multi-national company, I wouldn't expect some stupid fucking news team to show up and waste air time filming me, you fucking retard.
um ya.. he sold the store. He also bought one in Armstrong, Iowa. He was unable to manage the product. Needed a little more education on what he was doing. Pretty sure he went to college though. So in theory he did something very good for a small town, but in the end inexperience and too little of education won.
I am pretty sure he had knew a lot on what he was doing. He did not go to college. First of all, you dont know the store why he close the store in Armstrong, so dont being saying all this stuff..
This is very helpful, as I have to make a feature article on a teenager that gives teenagers a good name for my English stuff at school. God bless him
he used to go to my school, he used to have i think it was 3 or 4 stores but sold them all. now he is doing things with a day care center in fairmont minnesota
WOW AMAZING !What a wonderful person your awesome I'm very happy that at the same time why don't CBS give us more of these story's ?
This is what young men and young girl need to look at and not how killed this person or that one .CBS should shine more light on people like this man !
What a great kid. He kind of reminds me of that one dude from Who's the Boss. The dude from that episode where Tony Danza rapes someone on the night train.
Just wish the News Media at least focused on more pieces like this, what is right with our country not always what is wrong. I am sure everyone reading these words knows of someone that could be featured like this young man.
This is the kind of news that makes me feel warm inside. I'm tired of hearing about the lives of celebrities being passed off as news. Nick Graham is my new hero.
If only there were more people like that, and towns were that caring for eachother. For 17 years old, he is a lot more mature than some adults I know. I wish him and the town the best of luck.
That's really pretty cool to see a teenager make that kind of commitment, even though he already talks and acts kind of like an old guy. Cool story. But c'mon man...cut your granny a break!
If the news had more stories like this, I would actually watch it. I'd rather see stories like this that happen everyday on all the time than have to see murders, rapes, and violence always being reported.
Simply amazing... Let's really hope globalization and Wal-Mart don't ever make it there with their small-business eliminating practices. Wonder what would happen? These small-town people seem to have the real sense of community that no "low-price" greedy corporate chain has ever brought anywhere it's gone.
I wonder if any of the officials at the University of Minnesota has seen this--they should be tripping over themselves to give this kid, I mean, young man, a scholarship.
I may sound like I'm hating, but did he use his parents' money to buy the Main Street Market? Seeing as he's 17 years old, the statement "I am not here to make a profit" doesn't hold water. There'd be no need for him to own the store if no money-making was involved.
