Local Business Owner Seeks Community Support [Printable Letter]

Chad Elliott Coogan, owner of Oceanside Jewelers, is seeking the community’s support before the Oct. 17 Oceanside City Council meeting.

He hopes residents can show up at the meeting or send the accompanying letter to members of the City Council.

He is seeking to change his business description to pawnbroker in order to compete with a nearby store, he told Patch and added that a previous petition had been denied.

The move would allow clients to retain ownership of their jewelry, because they would use it as collateral instead of selling it, he said.

The letter that accompanies this article contains details and can be printed.
