Has she shown an interest in you, I mean other than as a customer
Thanks for supporting my comment
Let her finish her house then make a move! If you get together then you can gift her with other things for the home!
What is it you fear? Is your fear she will run screaming to everyone else in the small town saying don't go in that store? Is your business totally dependent on her patronage? If so, then a) rework your business plan and b) don't ask her out. If however the business will survive either way, speak from the heart, or start small as below.
If she comes in at the same time every day, call Dominoes tomorrow and arrange for a pizza delivery to arrive just at about the same time she does. Then offer her a slice. Accepted, this breaks some ice and you are eating together..
Afterwards maybe 2 or 3 days later, suggest a lunch tomorrow because you have some thoughts about her renovations and let that happen.
the doctors do not date their patients. the professors do not date their students. i guess the laws of professional ethics are less stringent in case of entrepreneurs like you, perhaps. you decide.
weave a convincing story first.
when she comes to your store - tell her that today you are running a lucky draw and there is a scratch card for every tenth customer. when she will scratch the card, she is supposed to get a nicely gift-wrapped chocolate and also a card, make sure that the card remains inside the wrap.
i am leaving the obvious for you. sound honest and natural. but do not forget to add the following.
tell ( write ) her that even if she does not want to go with you, it will be fine for you and you will always respect her decision. also assure her that you will not raise this topic in future or anything even remotely connected which may embarrass her.
