You might need some more data about activity there, but yes it looked quiet. Maybe try to reduce the rent?

Thanks for your lovely words! Thanks for watching

Where did you send it?

@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur I own a wholesale drinks company I stock brands such as coca cola would you be interested in a price list

@@yizchaklazarus8637 please send to our buying manager paul.rafferty@rossiicecream.co.Uk

@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur here is my message again. I hope this is of interest to you Hi James. (I know it is probably not you reading these messages. Hi kind person who is reading this. If this is of any interest to James , please be so kind and forward it to him) My name is Mathias. I am from Vienna, Austria. Here is my question: Do you cook meals for your day nurseries? We run a business catering to day nurseries and schools here in Austria. It ticks all the boxes for you 1. folds in your current business 2. you get long-term customers that pay you on a monthly basis We cook around 7000 meals a day, a portion costs around €4,20 so that is nearly 6000 000 in revenue every year (I am assuming 20 days a month, 10 months a year) and the beautiful part is that my customers have an average life span of 5+ years. You are close to a major metropolitan area. This would be a massive business opportunity for you. You would do double or triple my numbers. I am more than happy to help if you need to know more about the business. I have 10+ years experience and I am happy to help.. Greetings from Austria, Mathias

You were standing, not you were stood. Bad grammar marks you down as a probable failure.

It was a franchise...

The strength James has is the other complimentary businesses in the portfolio. This reduces pressure on a single business model.

@@marcevans1284 yes for sure, vertical and horizontal integration

Agree. sad looking place with astronomical lease price. Thank you James for this ATV idea, rhat was a gold nugget.. I will start using it

Welcome aboard!

There’s a reason Costa use magnolia and a warm dark red.

@@ThorMotorWerks: Everybody goes to Pret's.... Even Gregg's is now popular too. Light and airy. As Gregg's expand their prices.. people will stop going. And find a new competitor... that is how it goes. But if you have something for the different price point and budgets, people will always come back again and again... That is just the nature of business.

Yep. It’s already fully integrated. All cookies baked and ice cream flavours have been put into Rossi range now.

Good points there. Chamberlayne Road does get busy, but probably around school start/finish times, as you said the yummy mummy crowd. There are places on that street that are always busy eg the Portuguese place, and Gails have moved in, but you need the outdoor seating.

Exactly what I thought! You’d expect agents to know that kind of information when showing a property

You mean "woman".

Floors are manmade and inside buildings. The ground is outside and part of nature. Why can't the English learn to speak?

University of life for me. I’ve also read a lot of books and been to seminars over the years.

I think he was trying to dominate the world with expansion. There was an announcement at one point about going over to New York, that didn’t arise. A lot of the shops had broken machines and I think staff retention was an issue. A lot of the times I went there the workers seemed overstretched and stressed!

That’s already happened! Go to the Rossi parlour and you’ll find all the new flavours from Cookies at your fingertips. Plus the cookies team now make all our cakes and bakes in our Rossi shops.

​​​​@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur Hello. On the London coffee shop, prices seem high but tough negotiations with the landlord was probably a good starting point. Agree with someone else that school children returning could provide greater footfall. What about marketing on bus stops or in the train station. A pop-up marquee giving out free samples might tempt customers into your main shop later on? Good you've purchased Cookies & Cones. It's never drawn me in despite their offering having a good reputation. My nearest are Southend & Rayleigh. (If that's still open?) Price point felt quite steep. Gluten, dairy-free and vegan options would be great as intolerances rule out normal cookies. 🫤 There's empty units in Rayleigh and Rochford if you consider expanding the concept elsewhere. Thurrock Thameside complex desperately needs a proper cafe. It appears that the theatre was saved though council librarians serving 🤮 instant coffee wasn't pleasurable while visting last year. I know the authority is bankrupt and badly run however. Finally, visit Muffin Break for market research. Their model has similarities to Cookies & Cones. (I know my comment was VERY long.) 😂🫤

If you don't find a means of multiplying your money, you will wake up one day and realize that the money you thought you had, had been exhausted. Investment is a ladder to climb the financial wall.

Cryptocurrency investment, but you will need a professional guide on that.

We do that already.

@@JamesSinclairEntrepreneur Haha! Of course you do. Forgot who I was talking to. Just got into your videos the last 2 weeks. I'm addicted. Your energy is amazing. So infectious. I was wondering if you could make a video on how much it costs to employ someone, "fire" or replace employees. Also what you do to keep employees happy and wanting to stay. I'm in Norway working for a great, small but international company called Cobuilder. You should check us out. People have been working here for years. As the environment and freedom is great.

There's a coffee shop in a Primark In Manchester. Right at the back of the store. It's permanantly busy.

Exactly what I was thinking. I don't think your average Primark shopper is into £4 coffees. Still worth having a coffee machine though and in some areas Primark is literally the only reason why some people go into a shopping area so it's an excellent location. The original cookies and cones idea is still good I reckon just probably needs to be ran correctly and get more Greggs type products in. Actually aren't there Greggs already in some Primarks? Get some cheap pastries in and you're laughing.

​@@gibbson130Needs to be run, not needs to be ran. Why can't the English learn to speak English?

Possibly the more upmarket retail stores either don't want distractions, or they run their own cafe operation eg M&S or Sainsburys. Could there be a shoe/trainer shop that would benefit from a coffee hub?

@@williebobs3830: Do you know how big the Primark in Manchester really is ? It has been there for years, and one of the largest in the North. I remember this one, as well as the large one in London. So yes... a Primark "ought" to be profitable. But as with anything, logic and theories.. and on paper sounds great.. it is the tiny details.. and the execution that matters the most, don't you think ? And to be frank.. under this current climate.. if people don't stay or hold on tight... Then they are just as destructive to the actual market themselves than anything, in all honesty. And I mean.. how many people are there in the UK any way ??? How many of us, have not worked in these kind of sectors at one point in our life time ??? Whether it is when we were students or when we were working or inbetween jobs etc... A lot of people keep saying that they are "investors" but frankly, they are just "robbing Jane to pay for Tim".. kind of scenario. And when you see wealthy individuals who rather build a new house, out of these businesses... Then... you kind of know that, "this is the end of the game". And the fact that these landlords refuses to budge on the rates... Says a lot, don't you think ? Everybody is holding on for that "big fish"... Well... When people are dying and leaving.. and working from home. It is the end of that tea dance. Nothing to it really.
