Looking for a Venture Capitalist!!

[Bullumni]

If anyone knows of a venture Capitalist who would like to invest in a restaurant and almost double their $ in 5 years.  Let me know.  Mrs. Bullumni and I are offering a 95% return on your investment (We are looking for $200,000 CDN or appx $172,000 USD).  Investment is on the up and up with all the documentation and business plans and everything.  Let me know if you want more info.

And YES the lounge area will have a USF Bulls Logo or two!!! ;D

Location, location, location?

[LDD]

where?

How about partial ownership.?

And what is the theme?

More details

[Bullumni]

Where is Woodstock New Brunswick, Canada.

Location is an outparcel in a WalMart Shopping plaza in which the WalMart just opened its doors a week ago.  We would be the second building in the plaza (Strip Mall)

More Detailed Location would be just off the #1 Major Highway in Canada (Route 2) that goes east west from coast to coast.  .25 miles from the end of I-95 that goes all the way down to Florida.  The plaza is on the corner of Route 2 and Connel Road (the main road entering Woodstock).  Any cars that come to the Walmart MUST actually drive by our restaurant.  A detailed map of the area and exact location can be supplied upon request.

We ARE considering the partnership idea however the most we are willing to allow for a partner is 30% which would be if you were to invest $250K CDN or 24% for 200K CDN.  The total start up for the restaurant to open the doors is $828K.  We have already secured the funds for the balance of the start up.

The name of the Restaurant is Tropic's Bar & Grill, and the theme will be of a topical nature.  (Think Rainforest Cafe minus the animatronics, annoying noises, and add a little more class while still maintaining a family friendly atmosphere.)  The food will be along the same style of the TGiF, Cheesecake Factory, Chili's, Bennigan's, but a little better tasting I'm sure.  It will have a full service Lounge that will compliment the dining room.

Since this has generated some interest, if you IM me, I will provide a link for you to the business plan, which includes cost breakdown, cashflow, detaile descriptions, competition analysis, market studies, and map/pictures of the location for you to look at (it will be a pdf).

swamp land...beach front?

[Bullumni]

Not swamp land nor beach front property.  More like ledge on the Main Artery in town.  The land used to be a trailor park before Walmart bought out the place and relocated the residents down the road to a residential area.  

The Walmart is supposed to bring in 7500 cars per day, and so far hasn't disappointed.  It has been wall to wall people since they opened.  

We have the only movie theater within 50 miles and is within walking distance of our restaurant (3 theaters, stadium seating, always busy).  

We have a new 64 room upscale hotel accross the road (Best Western) with NO lounge or restaurant.  

There are plans for another Hotel in the same plaza as us supposed to begin construction at the end of this year also with no restaurant or lounge.

In the summer the town's population (10K people) more than doubles for summer festivities around here (Old Home Week).

Local towns here all have summer festivities different weeks during the summer, but most of the hotels are located in Woodstock.

The Local US border town (Houlton 10 min away on I-95) has no sit down restaurant and residents must drive 45 min to Presque Isles if they want to eat at a non-Pizza Hut/non-Chinese/non-KFC.  

With the Canadian Dollar as positioned against the US Dollar, most US border people come to Woodstock to shop so they would come to Woodstock to eat and see a movie (Houlton has no theater and is 20-25K population).  

Within 50 mile radius, we have access to over 90K people including the US.

Woodstock is growing at an enormous rate and is the capital city of the County.  Woodstock is the fastest growing city in the Province and one of the fastest growing cities in Canada (thanks to the Highway improvements in Canada and the US).

We would be the fist non-home cooking/non-pizza/non-chinese/non-truckstop restaurant in town and the only one with a lounge where you can get a beer as well as a martini, smoothie, or mixed drink (great for the yuppy/after work crowd).  Buzz around town has skyrocketed about our restaurant without us doing one bit of advertising except for word of mouth and anticipation.

Links will follow in my next post once I get to a scanner

You probably won't find a venture capitalist in the strict sense, as this isn't the kind of thing they invest in.  You might be able to find an angel, though, as they do these kinds of things with personal funds.

Would your use of the word "angel" be in a religous or spiritual sense, or were you using it metaphorically?
