    Well I thought about getting a spot in The Great Mall. Biggest mall in the world. It will be up and running by 2010. It will have amusement park to :D. I wanted to get a licensed Starbucks Spot in the food court. I work at a plan room so my company knows a lot of high up people so getting a spot would be easy :D. Would you invest $1,000 for 3 years if you were to get back $5,000? Under contract ofcourse. I'm not accepting any investment ATM. But in the future I may when I look more into things. $5,000 would be a for sure deal. The traffic at this mall will be GODLY. Tell me what you think?

    Yeah Starbucks is going down the drain. But some locations make 10-20,000 profit a month. Here in Las Vegas any location you go to always have at least 10 people. So i'm thinking in a mall the first day may get 500+ customers and at least 200+ a day after the opening. A lot of people have been going to Mcdonalds for there coffee. But in a mall and certain rich areas Starbucks is still wanted. I actually wanted a Panda Express or a In n Out burger. But both are private no franchise :-(. That stuff sells its self for sure ;)

    That would be a good investment IMO, if you are sure you are going to get 5k.

    Yeah. Thats why we would do a contract :-D. See Starbucks has dropped but wont even affect the traffic at the mall. Any rich area starbucks is still strong. The first day starbucks could easily make 5,000 its first day. After supply cost and wages not sure how much of that is profit but I'm thinking about half.


    edit: Basically any food related shop in the mall would profit no matter what. People from all over the world would visit.

    Are you sure you're going to get that much profit in 3 years? And 3 years for only a 1,000 investment? I'd rather invest my money in other venues.

    Try making your own unique product and sell it on the internet instead. :)

    Well 4,000 profit is very good for a 3 year investment. Bank cd's only pay out 1-2 percent per year.

    but how many investor do you need to get the business start. Do you have idea on how much the equipment and supply will cost?

    also CD won't fail, but a business could

    Yeah thats a 400% profit in 3 years.

    I think the question you need to ask yourself is If you can use that same 1k in a different investment and make a larger revenue at the end of 3 years.

    The plus side in this investment is that your getting an investment that is low risk and high revenue, so if you don't have another plan to make more money with the same 1k in 3 years then in my opinion you should definitely go for it.
