Can you explain your interpretation of Hell? Is it not enough reimbursement? I do not think the Purgatory Resort is near me. But this may or may not be a long report. is that the issue? 3 separate reports? Can't purchase anything for those amts? No fee?
Kinda looks good to me. Maybe because I'm hungry right now.

Why is that a bad shop?

I don't do food shops, so I don't know what they entail.

I'm not sure he's saying it's a bad shop. He's saying the name of the location is Purgatory, which, according to theology, is a place between Heaven and Hell.
There's not a prayer I'd go to Purgatory for this! Before you sign up for take-out, ask who gets to decide when you leave. smiling smiley

Had to Google it but apparently it's a ski resort in Colorado.

No kidding! I just assumed the email was spam. What a terrible name for a resort. So many bad puns come to mind.
LOL!

That's right up (or down?) there with the crematorium phone shops.

Yes not saying its a bad shop just found the name funny. I am no where near Colorado or I may actually consider the shop.

There is a Purgatory Golf Course in the Indianapolis area as well.

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.

The course is very choppy from what I hear.

There's a road named Purgatory in my little slice of TX. I've driven it a couple of times. The road really lives up to its name; peaceful and then wish you were wearing adult diapers raucous. Locals only use it as a cut through when absolutely necessary.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor in the morning; the devil shudders...And yells OH #%*+! SHE'S AWAKE!

As a proud Coloradan and former skier, let me say a bit about Purgatory Resort. In addition to the resort name, one of their ski areas is called Dante's. There is also a Halfway to Heaven gift shop and a Paradise Pizzeria. And a bit of history:

"The name Purgatory stems from the Spanish Escalante Expedition during the 1700’s. During their trip, one of the members fell into the swiftly flowing Animas River somewhere near site of the ski area and perished into its waters. Group members declared [it] 'El Rio de Las Animas Perdidas en Purgatorio.' Translated into English, this means The River of Lost Souls in Purgatory."

Aren't you glad you asked!
Purgatory Resort is where you end up if you are caught with the wrong person in Intercourse, Pennsylvania.

(Intercourse, PA is an unincorporated village in Lancaster County- Amish country. The movie Witness was filmed there.)

It took enough posts for someone to actually notice the pun in the OP.
Be careful if you decide to do this shop. My mom broke her leg skiing there and ended up in the Sisters of Mercy in Purgatory hospital.
