This project will involve the creation of a coffee shop. It will be referred to as FLO’S COFFEE SHOP and will be located in the busy Galleria area to maximize on the customer numbers frequenting the area. The coffee shop will specialize in the provision of a select menu to include breakfast items, lunch menus, sandwiches as well as pastries and regular coffee to espresso. The coffee shop will open Monday to Saturday and operate between 6am to 8 pm.
This project is important because it will create employment for the 8-10 employees expected to run the coffee shop. It is also a realization and eventual materialization of a dream that the owners have had for a long time thus will also be fulfilling for the coffee shop owners. After doing a survey it emerged that there is need for a coffee shop in the Galleria area to serve the large populace that visits the area since the area lacks a decent coffee shop to serve the numerous number of people visiting the area and who will provide the clientele the coffee shop needs.
Setting up the coffee shop would entail searching for the ideal space of ideally 500 sqfeet and renting it within the Galleria area, making specialized renovations to fit the preferred décor and equipment, recruiting and training staff and doing a lot of marketing to create awareness of the impending opening of the coffee shop. This in total would require a budget of approximately $100,000 and take 6 months to materialize and officially see Flo’s coffee shop open.
