Yeah, heard about this the other day. Too bad. Now I want to open a late night hangout spot there.

[tylerp]

what's left, other than denny's?

[Hollow]

Nothing. Huge gap in this town.

[tylerp]

what about qv's? they're open pretty late... maybe not 24h though.

[Tambro]

The article talks about it. Denny's, McDonalds, a couple tim Hortons

[Hollow]

They're okay, but close at 3:00 a.m. (or possibly earlier) and aren't really the kind of place I like to hang out in.

[weirdie]

QV's closes at 11pm.

[tylerp]

yeah I don't really count fast food chains or convenience stores

[Hollow]

QV's closes at 11pm.

Well, that answers that.

You should open a spot. You have the experience and the talent. I think a place the size of Budgies in Van with a specific menu (like Budgies has with veggie burritos, for example) could be done without breaking the bank.

[Hollow]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH no, it would absolutely break the bank. Restaurants are huge money pits the first few years they're open. Profit margin for a successful restaurants is generally around 12%. But I still wanna do it.

Oh, yes, it would be hella expensive, I just mean that there's a way to do it that won't put you bottom-of-the-ocean deep in debt. The person who started Budgies seemed to go about it in a smart way, she started small and let the business grow from profits, instead of going deeply in debt and working to dig herself out over a bunch of years.

What kind of restaurant would you like to open? Carl and I talk about opening a vegan restaurant. We have some (I think) good menu ideas.

I've always wanted to open a late night spot that had good vegan options. Make it hip but not too hip, cultivate a good customer base, etc. etc. etc. My boss at work likes what I've talked about so far, so maybe when he's more solvent I can hit him up for money. I dunno. It's an idea right now. But still, vegan soups, solid vegan sandwiches, pancakes and eggs...shit like that.
