It started with a phone call that Tad Honeycutt's mother (Kathleen M Honeycutt) had filed a Fictious Business Name Statement in the San Bernardino Sun for the new Snap Fitness in the Shops at Topaz and Main in Hesperia. (Not the Daily Press? I wonder why?) The FBN has Snap doing business under Fantastic Fitness LLC in Vancouver Washington. I could not find anything in the state of Washington that matched with the LLC or with Kathleen Honeycutt's address provided on the FBN Statement. Note that the address given for Fantastic Fitness LLC is 6715 NE 63rd Street #278 Vancouver WA 98661. This address is for an apartment building.

A Snap fitness franchise costs between $62,350 and $232,200 to start up. If Tad's assets are frozen then who is paying for this business?

This FBN filing with San Bernardino County dated 10-29-2007 states that Snap Fitness is owned by Fantastic Fitness LLC at the same address of 14073 Main Street Suite 111 Hesperia Ca 92345. The FBN statement at the top of this page has the address of Fantastic Fitness LLC at 6715 NE 63rd Street #278 Vancouver WA 98661.

The California Secretary of State LLC search engine has Fantastic Fitness at the address of 14073 Main Street Suite 111 Hesperia Ca 92345. There is no Fantastic Fitness LLC recorded in the State of Washington.

This is where it starts to get interesting. The County FBN record dated 5-23-2007 has a Snap Fitness FBN with a business address of 9327 Agave Drive. And the owner of Snap Fitness as Ventures LLC California Fitness.

Then the California Secretary of State LLC records show that Tad Honeycutt at 9327 Agave Drive is the Agent For Service of Process for California Fitness Ventures LLC. The 7083 Hollywood Blvd Ste 180 address is for Legalzoom. Com in LA.

So who owns this new Snap Fitness center on Main and Topaz? Is it Councilman Tad Honeycutt? His Mother? How much does Tad have invested? Does his investment count as an asset? Who else is involved? Did he have any votes or any connection to the development? Does he pay rent? Who owns the shopping center? Who's name are the business license and other City permits filed under ? State Franchise Tax number? Will the details be disclosed?  Will the DA investigate? Stay tuned for more info at this page.
