Is a store like Home Depot the spot to get these items?

Jobs, stores, roads, healthcare services, and gas stations can all be destroyed in a disaster, as is often shown in the news.

He had 6 or 8 stores.

For context I don’t just watch them, I’m actually directing them where to do what and helping them to bring supplies over as the location is remote from large department stores like Home Depot. 

I’ve searched on google “kitchen cabinet handles” and “soft closing 3/8” inset hinge” and gotten both for much less expensive than at the box stores.

Also, if you hope to attract a national fast food chain, most retail developers will get a committment from them, or at least some type of LOI, up front to make sure that the chains would even be willing to have a store at that location, and what specs they would want/need for the building and how much rent they could pay, etc.

I'd go through with the court date to get permission to remove his belongings and get it in writing how long you have to store them. 

In the meantime consider just storing your cash in a vehicle that offers a stable/consistent ROR.

Did you know most things you buy in life at any store have no less than a 40% margin on them?

I have a po box inside a store that does other postal functions but not USPS
