Howdy HP'ers, I am asking for every ones input on my next adventure. Bryant Street Market has inquired about a license to sell beer, mainly 6 packs to go. What this means is, that if we get a license, we will have seating for 30 people with consumption being allowed inside the store (YIKES) and 6 packs to go. I'm pretty sure it's 2 beverages can be consumed inside, more on that later. The configuration of the store will change, in that the aisles of groceries would be redirected in some way. I am asking you all as neighbors to give me feedback--- Is this a good idea? Is this a bad idea? Do you think it will impact the street in a positive or negative way? Would you buy a 6 pack on your way to E2 or Smiling Banana Leaf? Would you like the convenience of stopping on your way home from work to grab a few cold ones? Would you like to enjoy one of our awesome sandwiches with a beer while checking out the Steeler game? Would it be a good idea to deliver 6 packs? What kind of beer would you like? Would you be worried we might sell beer to your teenager? (That ain't happenin') and so on. We want to start formulating a business plan so that we can move forward with this. I thought it would be a good idea to poll the neighborhood and see what type of reaction we would get. To give you all some insight on our thinking, we have a timeline of 1 year from now. This is a massive financial undertaking (debt for me), and as such, myself and my financier will leave no stones unturned. I believe the people in the neighborhood that have gotten to know me, consider me genuine, and know I truly care about what happens on the street. Our attorney is a long time HP resident, and as we move forward, we would like to incorporate other neighbors in as well. I think it is a good idea to try this, as do the few customers I already polled. We are not going to be open later, people won't be loitering outside drinking. Our main focus will be beer to go, but will have seating inside too, as the license stipulates. WE WILL *NOT *BE SELLING 40'S OR ANYTHING RELATED TO THAT......BEFORE ANYONE ASKS :) Simply, nice craft beers, maybe some big Belgians, etc....You tell me what you want, it's your store.....I'm here for you... Think about this and please get back to me by email, also stop by the store to chat. Please, all feedback is needed, good and bad, to assess the feasibility of this project.
