“im going to college, but i need a way to pay for it,” deluca recalls saying. “buck said you should open a sandwich shop.”that afternoon, they agreed to be partners. and they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. after doing some research, buck wrote a check for $1,000. deluca rented a storefront(店面) in connecticut, and when they couldnt cover their start-up costs, buck kicked in another $1,000.but business didnt go smoothly as they expected. deluca says, “after six months, we were doing poorly, but we didnt know how badly, because we didnt have any financial controls.” all he and buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs. deluca was managing the store and going to the university of bridgeport at the same time. buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in new york. theyd meet monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. “we convinced ourselves to open a second store. we figured we could tell the public. we are so successful, we are opening a second store.” and they did in the spring of 1966. still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error. but the partners learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength. every friday, deluca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. “it probably took me two and a half hours and it wasnt necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.” deluca says. and having a goal was also important. “there are so many problems that can get you down.
