A New Day, A New Direction

Well, it is Friday and after a few days of recovery and regrouping, I have made some great findings and major progress towards an opening day for Cafe Evoke. I have found 3 areas that are very interesting and hopeful for Cafe Evoke. We have decided on another location to pursue and will be meeting with the leasing agent tomorrow morning, yes Saturday, to talk through some lease agreements, etc. The great thing about working with these people is that.. 1. It is the same property manager we have been working with for months now. 2. They are professional companies that know how to run their business and work with their tenants. 3. They are the same agents in charge of the new Bozeman Mill District in which we would like to be when it is completed in the next several years. We are going to try and see if we can arrange a lease transfer when that time comes. 4. They are also working on another development across from our mall that will be complete in about 5-7 years that might also be a home for Evoke in the distant future. This new location at Main and 19th is in a very high traffic strip center that is in the process of receiving a face lift. Starbucks has recently decided not to go into this same building but were very much looking at opening their first location here. It is not the outside that we really like but we believe that with the added traffic and with a clean slate on the inside, we can transform the place to be a perfect home for Cafe Evoke. I will have more updates as we go forward and I would think that a lease could be signed as early as next Friday. Our kitchen designers love the possibilities and I think it will be a great place for us to serve this community and grow together. Thank you again for all of the support over the last week as we went through our lowest point since we began this process over a year ago. It really helps! I believe now that we have something and I will be able to post pictures, etc to give a face with the name. Money is there (finally) and we have reset and are going after this 110%. ~~be bold
