I was just wondering what actual Owners & Managers thought about this.
I'm looking at a Main St location circa 5K sq/ft at $15 per sq/ft. The immediate advantage here is super high visibility. The downside is, assuming I get a zoning variance, no way am I going to get a liquor license on the front end. Getting an OK to sell food would be a victory.
I'm also looking at some spaces circa 8K to 10K sq/ft less than 5 miles away from the main drag in a Clean Corporate Warehouse Area where the rents are less than half. The obvious advantage is more space, a lot less money. In this area I'm thinking getting a liquor license is a pretty good shot. Food won't be a problem. PLUS, I could go from just 23 or so tables to more tables and a nicer room design given the additional space (sitting/observation area, pro shop, private rooms, etc.).
Thank you everyone! -Steve
