Today as I was priming the walls to my new venture --by bus. partner was away at school---a nursing class--there is an existing-- -coffee shop on the main drag of our neighborhood--we are located on a side street----mind you my partner is changing her hair salon which posed no threat to the bookshop-- but now we've decided to serve food--I thought of fish&chips this is absolutely Perfect for our up & coming area---the owner of the coffee shop is opposed to the thought of us serving food-- because he offers coffee.tea.etc.---I'm pissed because he does not see the bigger pic.---offer great food-- -people will come--share the wealth--our product is different than what he is offering--the landlord doesnt care but wanted us too get his ok--we feel he's not paying our rent and our ideas are completely different from what he is offering--so we feel there is no need for discussions of our space with him--and mind you we have already purchased commercial equipment for our venture---hey--competition rules the world--and our neighborhood needs variety---are we being selfish -- or unreasonable--please can someone shed some light on this moment-----
