Thanks all for the information. I have gotten some good ideas from people even the Sloan Brother. For all the folks out there  on the west side (AZ)they will be here in Az in two weeks and I plan to visit them while they are here hosting a seminar.

I am currently working on a business plan and.trying to network with coffee shops to get information and pricing out equipment I would need . I would love for this to be set up in a house type environment if possible. I no that zoning might be a issue  Do anyone no how to handle that problem or to get commerical zoned for a house and what would it take?

I  welcome all suggestion and ideas to get this off the ground !!!    

Where are you and your business located?

Thanks for this information . I will be in contact with them . This is the same concept that I would like to get started . I have not been able to find out much information regarding Christian business in AZ.    

I will be taking a class that is offered through SBA to write a business plan. Hopefully, by the time I am finished my business plan will be written and I will be able to present it to people who might want to invest with me.

Any ideas or  futher suggestions will be a big help.

  

By the way I would like to host this business in a home type environment . So my idea is to rent or buy a house in a area  that would allow this type of business . I have to look in to the zoning areas  and it might be hard to find a house that is set up for commerical zoning .

Any ideas on this???   

Hi Katt33, Thank for the suggestions.

I am getting enrolled through SBA for a women`s workshop for 10 weeks on writing a business plan. When I finish the workshop I should have completed my business plan. Will stay in touch.

Where are you located at ?

Be careful if theres a Starbucks or giant coffee chain close it will be a uphill battle for customers right out of the gate.

Real Quick....

My biggest concern would be how large of a customer base will you have out of a thousand people who just happen to like coffee AND Jazz AND Christianity?

Do your homework there before you put up any hard-earned pazzoozahs (dollars) to get started :)

Good Luck!

P-

Thanks for the suggestion I have been talking to people and getting good feedback .I plan to do a survey with people in the area, etc  

It will be open to anyone that wants to come in   . I want it to be a place that people feel at home while drinking their coffee and  receive that spirtual uplifting feeling if they so desire 

I want to have family nite -something such as  karoke. People are looking for clean fun with their children . I hope to be able to have fun things going on  comedy nite, game nite  etc 

Looking for  Suggestions and  Ideas  please !!!!!

Thanks
