Hi all,

I see we have a few new people. Huzzah!
I invite all of you, new and old alike, to look through the message
archive and post your thoughts on what's been discussed, or tell me/us
what your feelings are on any related topic.
Some people may be aware that we've been looking at the old Denny's at
12 and Woodward as one possible location. The more I pass that
building, the better it keeps looking to me. We'd have room to stretch
out without needing a second floor, there's ample parking, and plenty
of shopping traffic, being only a mile from downtown Berkley. The
closest competition seems to be the IHOP at kitty-corner, and the
Coffee Beanery half a mile south. The Beanery closes early, and IHOP
coffee sucks (and $1.70 a cup!!), so we should be able to get a good
size market there. What are your thoughts?

Yours in the Bean,
Adam (and Jaime too)

Related to the whole heating thing: I know of a certain cafe in Sterling Heights whose ownership changed in the fall; by the time winter was over, the place...

M Squared has a point. If the store opens at the wrong time, it could be costly. I have to believe that there will be seasonal cycles involved here. I am sure...

I note that this is why a lot of the places that do coffee drinks also do sodas, ice creams, and the like. I'll also note (and the Europeans have figured this...

On the other hand, it is winter when they are looking for a place inside to go. The biggest question is, what can your business plan handle? Can it handle the...

Okay 1: Opening a new store 1a - In my humble opinion, the best time to open a new store is in the FALL. If it's a highly urban area with schools nearby, and...
