Making promises is risky

Opening new retail stores is always a tricky proposition. There are hundreds or even thousands of details that can derail the process.

But is a business is going to make a public promise about the opening date, then they had better be prepared for some grief if they miss the date.

This store was supposed to be open in December 1, 2015, but it looks as if it will be at least a week late. Construction work was still going on and the shelves were empty. Oh well, what is a few more days.
