Christie Martin - Owner of the Icehouse of Bentonville, located in Bentonville Arkansas. The Icehouse is to be a restaurant and nightclub. Christie hires individuals, companies, etc... And does not pay them.
Christe will manipulate you into thinking she has the cash and the credit for her pet project, but has nothing. Experience - the most important thing she is lacking.
Christie and boyfriend Derrek have no commercial construction or restaurant experience whatsoever. The ONLY experience Christi has is as a Hooters waitress for 8 years and possibly a bad looking stripper. Not much on developing a 12,000 sq ft restaurant.
If you are in politics with the town of Bentonville - WATCH OUT! Christe and Derrek like throwing around political names of public officials - exaggerating the fact that they have particular people in their back pocket. As to get away with certain rules and regulations deemed necessary for public safety.
The building has black mold! They have been told by 2 contractors that it need to be taken care of before they open for service. The replied that they would just build a wall over the existing wall with the mold. There is also MAJOR structural damage to the building! This has also been pointed out by various contractors and architects. They were told to bring in a structural engineer to see what needs to be fixed so the building is safe. Christie replied" I don't want to waste the 2500.00 dollars.
2500.00 for the safety of potential customers and she doesn't want to spend it! Amazing! I guess Those might be some of the people she claims to have in her back pocket. Then on to the main architect.
Harris & French - no stamp whatsoever on the prints, but apparently has connections with the town so a building permit was granted! This being bragged about by boyfriend Derrek. Christie replies, "she wishes Derrek would keep his mouth shut when it comes to information like that, it could get me into trouble".
Ah, good honest business people just trying to squeek by without paying for a thing and getting results along the way!
WARNING - If you are a GC, Sub Contractor, or have anything to do with construction or the hospitality industry _ RUN AWAY!
