[Revmaynard]

Just don't eat all the ice cream or you won't make any money.

Good thinking man +1. The other day we tryed that. My cuz told me of a place that went out of business, but we couldnt find the place... BTW u have a pm :goodjob:

[Revmaynard]

The Bruster's I worked for as a first job stopped giving an employee treat because it got so slow during the winter. They almost shut down for a few months because the owner was losing money because we still ate it lol.

BTW, one large shake there is the equivalent to roughly 3 single serving ice cream scoops. Give out 10 of those and that hurts you.

[cactusEG]

It's dumb because it's true. The Bruster's I worked for as a first job stop giving an employee treat because it got so slow during the winter. They almost shut down for a few months because the owner was losing money because we still ate it lol. Thanks :goodjob:

Thanks man. I bet since they are going out of bizz. I could haggle with them on prices...

Hey man, if you have a game plan and think it's good, don't let anyone question your idea. Only you know your reasons and beleifs. Many many succesful businesses have started out with the "WTF are you thinking" criticism. Just my :2cents:

[aaronfelipe]

Absolutely, they either sell it for cheap or let the bank take over it and get close to nothing for them. They key to this man is having cash ready to go so you can assure you the best price.

True. We already invested to much money and got the buliding, to turn back now...

Good thinking, ppl can resist when the moneys in their face...

[preferredduck]

craigslist has equipment like that, hell i was laughing at an ice cream cart the other day!!! MMM you guys can make chocolate shakes, can i be your friend. lol

[ironchef]

You should buy a business that has steady year round profit potential. Sure ice cream places kick ass in the summer, but they suck balls in the winter.

eh, theres plenty of fatasses around that appreciate a banana split all year round. because, you know, bananas are healthy

[BUGMAN]

Where is your shop going to be at when it does open? I think I read that you already have the building right?

Shoot me a PM when ya get ready to open it and we will ride out for some criticism. :eek:

Good luck!

[quickdodge®]

As they say in the drug business, and this could apply in the restaurant business as well, never inhale what you sell. Lolol. Good luck. Later, QD.

[LeX]

Good luck. Even ice cream businesses that sell other things like breakfast food or sandwiches aren't really successful.. people go for the mainstream. I worked for jake's and muriel and sebastians. You have to watch your employees hardcore as they steal all the time even if you think you trust them. In the end it's just not that profitable competing against the big boys... don't do it as a primary source of income, do it as a secondary cause it's really not the best choice as your only income source

[puregroove]

You guys need to carry something along the lines of these guys::: http://www.dippindots.com/

I would definitely stop by.

yeah dude, that's the problem. There are the established brands. There honestly isn't much room in the market right now for smaller stores in terms of profability as a primary source of income

yeah, I hope Brewster's isn't around the corner from this new shop.

Most of the stuff there is going to be home made...

[BUGMAN]

If you have a Brownie Sundae as good as Bruster's then I will visit frequently. :goodjob:

[Kevykev]

Good luck with the deal.


I met a guy that gets appliances wholesale.

Pm me if you still need his number.

Bitcch ass stalking, trash that dosnt take showers, old ass mother fuccker. Later cactus...

[quickdodge®]

Hmmmm....the facts speak for themselves:

You = Fat - easily seen
You = Illiterate - one must only need read your posts to see this
You = College flunking - you admitted to this yourself

Me = Trash - My home is probably worth more than your entire family "fortune"
Me = Old - If you think mid 30s is old then ok
Me = Mother fuccer - Well you're right
Me = Doesn't take showers? - What would possess you to pull this out of your ass?

It seems that while I describe you to a perfect Tee, it seems that, once again, you have nothing on me except fantasidal (made up word) tendencies about who you think I am or want me to be. Later, QD.

Why would you PM him directions? You would think you would want to Advertise this. Or is success not the idea you were going for??

You need to run specials when you start to get people there.

Can't advertise unless you're a site sponsor. Later, QD.

I agree but when I asked for directions he could of replied in the open forums. I don't think that would of been considered advertising and it would of put a little spot out there for them.

Either way we are ready to go do some taste testing and the location being in Corneila is perfect to take the verts out on a sunny day.
