Here's the problem I see about opening and operating a restaurant in the villages. And I speak from experience. Although everyone says they will patronize your business after you open, and they do for the first 2 months. It's very seasonal and although you're doing a booming business between the months of Oct.- April. Once the snowbirds head back home your sales decrease by almost 50%. Now remember your lease amount and CAM charges NEVER drop because sales have gone down. They actually increase every year. $3,750 a month is a tuff nut to crack for a 1,500 Sq ft space. Plus all your other expenses. Now I'm sure everyone's lease is different. So it may seem like a wise decision to do what you're all asking about but it could also be a very tough road. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I am saying it won't be a walk in the park. Just telling you my opinion.
