Hey gang.

Several business partners and I are currently in the planning and financing stages of opening an upscale grocer in the downtown central business district. While I must refrain from discussing most aspects of our business plans, I am very interested in hearing any and all input, insight, opinions and tips from the forum.

Our goal is to attract business from the commuting business professionals working downtown.

One of our struggles is in location scouting. To be quite frank, companies have been less than great in returning emails and phone calls about specific locations and their specs. Some ownership info is wrong. Some phone numbers on windows are simply disconnected. If anyone has an idea for a great location in the CBD feel free to offer it up. Our target is 10,000 sq/ft but we're flexible between 8k and 12k sq/ft

Thank you in advance,

Jared
