Dilly’s dream was to open a cookie shop, so she did her homework carefully be-fore finally opening “Dilly’s Delights” on July 1, 2019. Before that date she had incurred the following “soft costs” – $12,000 realtor’s fee for finding a storefront to rent, $16,000 attorneys’ fees for negotiating a lease and trademark services, $8,000 wage expense for employees during the pre-opening period, and $18,000 for pre-opening TV and other advertising.
