Looking for the sake of a business idea that’s basically pre-heated? Here you go. Forget overpriced avocado toast. It’s a flawless storm of demand and visibility. Brooklynites secretly crave hearty, mountain-man portions after a day dodging rogue strollers. It’s a feedback loop of delicious proportions. A Black Bear Diner in New York would be truly a guaranteed hit, serving up comfort food bigger than your rent check and attracting hungry tourists. You'll wonder how this wasn’t alset yours.
Thomas’s Take: Consultant’s Note
I reviewed Black Bear Diner’s FDD. Here’s why I like it as an choice in Bushwick or Williamsburg. The Item 19 in the FDD said: $2,746,886 in median total sales (not profit) across eligible franchised restaurants. Given the popularity of Black Bear Diner in Brooklyn and New York, a Bushwick place presents a great opportunity to capitalize on unmet appetite in the neighborhood.
