Husker Runner Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nancy is kicking butt in international play. And recently opened another Scooter's Coffeehouse franchise in Lincoln. :-) Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Nancy is kicking butt in international play. And recently opened a Scooter's Coffeehouse franchise in Lincoln. :-) She and Mr. Metcalf owned the Haymarket Scooters for a while now, I believe. Did they open another one? Quote Link to comment
Husker Runner Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I thought they opened Haymarket in 2009 but maybe it's been longer...they also own one downtown I think. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 I thought they opened Haymarket in 2009 but maybe it's been longer...they also own one downtown I think. It's been open for a few years now, and I talked to Nancy at least in 2008 about volleyball. Do they own the shop at 11th & O? And do they possibly own the very new one in the State Office building?

Husker Runner Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Yes, it is the one on 11th and O, I think that was their first one. I guess time flies because it seems like I was just hearing about the Haymarket location! Quite a good Nebraska representation on the National Team roster. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 I can confirm that the Metcalfs are the owners of the brand spankin' new Scooters in the State Office Building. Lord help my paycheck. Quote Link to comment
