At those prices, I wonder if those other entrepreneurs will still be interested. The restaurant business is one of the hardest and most competitive businesses you can be involved in not to mention the demands it makes on you physically.
People are still cost conscious as can be seen by so many of the posts we both make and respond to are any indication.
Let me think about this - a twenty dollar burger and fries washed down with a ten dollar glass of wine - or - a sandwich brought in your cooler with a two dollar beer? I think those prices will at least promote the sale of beach coolers but it will take an awful lot for the small businesses to put those rents away for the low season, cover the daily overhead, the cost of goods and salaries for staff and when all that is handled, still have something left for themselves when all is said and done. Good luck with that.
And then there are all the other issues like the disparities between other rents held by the Collective just for starters. This just doesn't look too good no matter how you slice it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
