Food for thought:The better contractors pick-up the materials they need for tomorrow's work, on their way home today.And the best of the best, don't go at all... they have their materials delivered.The same applies (i.e., contractors not wanting to work for less) not just to hot markets, but if there is a strong retail base (like we have here in the DC area).

While interviewing potential brokers and deciding where i wanted to hang my license, i visited several brokers and although they stuffed me with coffee and great finger foods, i wasn't convinced until i came across New Western Acquisitions.

I am also a cookbook author with books on Amazon about home food preservation.

It used to be the beer was used to sell food but now the food operation just gets in the way with the explosion of microbrews across the US.As for how to value this business the build-out seems very nice but without an existing restaurant operation I am not sure how you would be able to properly value.

The percentages really just don't work and never made sense to me as things like food, gas, childcare all cost the same no matter how much you make. 

Great input and food for thought. 

You need to take all those shows with a grain of salt. 

That won't really help your friends, but I think it's food for thought for all of us as investors
