A Coffee House Update...

Way back at the beginning of the year, we were talking to a guy about a new area of town that will be called The Bozeman Mill District. This is a place that they envision as being a second Main Street with restaurants, a theater, nice shopping, and urban living -- along with parks and green space. This new district is going to be located in the northeast part of Bozeman. He explained at the time that they hoped to have the commercial space ready to go for tenants to begin build out tasks in February/March of 2007. Because we need to find out what the situation is with the space and if that is still a real timeline, I emailed him about it. We are really trying to secure this spot and make it ours so that we can try to work the deal when they are ready. He replied to my email saying he thought they would be ready this year but now they are not sure and that he was sorry he did not have any real answers. I am assuming -- and maybe I should write back just to be sure -- that he means the building is going to begin in the next month or so but that it could be January/February before they begin looking at tenant leasing. That is fine but it probably means that it will be summer or later in 2007 before anything is possible in that space. My other fear is that they are having problems securing all the legal documents they need to continue or that they are having problems getting their PUD through the City. At this point, that is the only space we have our eyes on. We are continuing to keep an eye on the market but nothing has presented itself that we feel is right for Cafe Evoke. In the meantime, we will continue to go after Cafe Evoke *Coffee* Catering and keep building that business. September is looking great and should prove to be our biggest month so far. I will keep you in the loop. ...be bold Tagged: coffee, espresso, tea, bozeman, montana, cafe evoke, coffee catering, Bozeman Mill District
