Hey GC. So this last weekend my grandfather died and left me in charge of his coffee shop that i currently work in. Its not a chain or anything like that just a place where people can buy bagels and shit. He also left me a pretty sick amount of money towards the shop and i was thinking of remodeling it completely. I was thinking of even pushing the whole cannabis culture influence in the store as long as i didnt get into any type of trouble. Anybody have any suggestions? Im meeting with a designer on the 12th. by the way its called. "pie in the sky".....figures huh? for those cali people...its in the O.C... - 1/2
good idea man, maybe just play bob marley/KMK/afroman on the stereo for a few weeks and see how the customers react. . gauge it on their response
If you looked it says he lives in anaheim and says it's in the O.C. so it's a lame ass US coffeeshop (not saying anything against your shop, that'd be sick to get one I think.) I wish my grandpops would leave me a headshop instead though...
I suggest making it more of a come soothing place to go, maby you don't need to put in the cannibus culture but more a relaxing culture in there. Maby dime the light put tent on the windows and have soothing relaxing music playing in the background.
.yeah its just a hole in the wall place. orange tables. yellow chairs lol. but im re-doing the whole place. yeah its gonna be closed for a couple weeks while they remodel. im thinking that from when i open it ill start playing reggae/soul/hip hop and im gonna see if my clientel starts to get younger.... problem is good money is made at 5am...... i dont know if i want to keep it as a donut shop though....maybe i can change what we offer?
. i like the idea of darker lighting. something where people can come hang in the evening...i was also thinking of a mini-stage to let local acts bring people in while giving them some exposure. problem is space. it only fits about 20 people or so.
Sell weed! Customers who ask for a latte with "extra mint" will get an eighth with their purchase. Till somebody orders that by mistake and asks what the hell you are trying to give them
