Freshii

We took a little trip to Torrance this afternoon to check out this other viable spot. I liked it a lot. It's an end cap spot with a great visible signage facing Hawthorn Blvd. I am told it gets around 186,000 cars that drive around this intersection. It's currently a cafe so we will have to go through the change of use process. Kind of annoying seeing how its a 6 week process but I'm thinking we can cut it to 3 weeks if we hire and expediter.

Well aside from some scouting, I've been busy calculating our cost margins and looking at vendor routes and who to use for certain services. An unbelievable amount of energy is spent building the ground floor of restaurants, it's crazy. I can't wait until we make a decision on a place.

On another note, I came across an article on Freshii. If you aren't familiar with this fast casual food chain, here's a link. They are 50 stores strong and they have system wide revenues of 50 million a year. The CEO is Matthew Corrin and he is 29 years old. Amazing right? They were founded in 2005 and they have a plan to reach 700 stores in 5 years.

It's cool to dream big but for the meantime, I've got some work to do. Things are on track and I'm hoping we break ground in a months time.
