We’ve narrowed our new home down to 2 locations I would like our customers join in on choosing where we go.
1) the old yum mees building
2) a small section of the old Gedimans building
I would love to hear all of your thoughts please.
Also to be clear we would only be getting a small section of where yum mees is now we would be sharing the building with them. I don’t want any confusion about everyone thinking we would get the whole building we’d only be getting a small section of the building. There’s No parking or outdoor dining and I’m not sure if we could get a liquor license in this spot. The other location will need lots of cleaning and remodeling and the landlord is taking care of the outside and we would be able to open in a couple weeks possibly less. I also changed the wording for choosing I just don’t want the word New or Old being the deciding factor I would love to hear reasons why like if we went to the 5 school street location we would have a full restaurant with seating up to 40 or more, room for a full service bar, 10 dedicated parking spaces, room for a dozen or more outdoor dining, a full sized kitchen, 2 bathrooms and we could possibly own the whole building some day. The old Gedimans building has been remodeled it’s across the street from our old location we’d have to design the entire kitchen set up and location, we’ll have to buy a hood which is around $6,000 just for the hood that’s not cost of shipping or installation, we’ll have to have a plumber come in and run plumbing for everything. We’ll have hire an electrician to run all the electrical, not sure if we would have enough room to install the convection oven to have nachos, again all things to keep in mind we also may only have enough room to seat 10-20 people, unfortunately the grass lot next door is owned by the old dry cleaners otherwise that would have been great for outdoor dinning but we won’t be able to have outdoor dining in the old Gedimans building. It will take us a lot more time and cost us a lot more money but I’ll do whatever I can to try and keep everyone happy. This is information that needs to be shared in order for people to make their decisions. Please share reasons for why you chose
