Hello everyone! How are things people? I hope everyone is doing fine. As for me?

Yesterday I made a post regarding my girlfriend's decision to buy a small coffee shop and fulfill her dream. Needless to say how excited she is...She is acting like a little girl since yesterday, but I totally get it. She should be.

Well, today was my day off and I had to visit the new store and see for myself. And I got to tell you...I got excited too. That's because I don't think she couldn't find a better location. Straight across from a huge park which is flooded with people of all ages, and the only coffee shop in the area.

I took some pictures but I have to warn you that its still a mess. Hopefully I'll make an update every now and then ntil everything is set. Ready?

I think you understand that there is a lot of work that needs to be done...

We made a first attempt to put some of the furniture in place and see how they fit best...

I think I like it :)
Of course tomorrow the whole place will look like a dumpster again since we are waiting for the plumber...the electrician...the painter and so on...and on.

What do you think guys? Any suggestions?

This is already more than half of the potential succes. Looking good mate.

Thanks mate. I think she may have a good shot!
Hey...coffees on me...you know :)

Respect, you two have created a harmony! It's all a bit shielded in our cafes. With you it's like in a living room, I think that's really great. People will feel safe and close. This is the perfect business idea, next to a park! Who does not want to have a coffee after a walk in the park. Great music and all the youth and young people will come. Build a few playground equipment and the whole family comes : D

Καλη επιτυχια :)

Ευχαριστω Ηλια!

I think you better say goodbye to your days off for some time, hehe. And turn on your actifit app.
Roll up your sleeves and start working guys.
Good luck with your new business.

Ha! And I was wondering who’s going to say it first.

Thanks a lot!

I'm not one for coffee shops but ended up there with an old friend on Saturday. It was so nice inside, with comfortable couches, modern artwork, lots of niches you could really relax and have a chat. It's what they should be so hopefully she can put together a successful business that gives people that space.

It looks like a great building for it and with the right location and attitude should be a winner.

I really hope so my friend. Because despite the fact that it is a small store iw was pretty expensive to be honest

True but it will be worth it. Having a dream and taking that chance. Even though I would have liked to be told a bit earlier 😅 we only have one life and I've always said I would rather live hard until 50 than make it to 100 and never do anything. It's much better to be happy in what you do than slaving away everyday for a wage and miserable.

It won't be easy. Owning a business never is but I'm sure she will make it work. Even if it doesn't it's not the end of the world. You can always change the plan and go again.

I wish your girlfriend a great and succesful start man.
Chairs and table are stylish.I would relax in these couches for sure.

Thanks buddy!

Best wishes for a wonderful start!

Thanks brother!

Oh wowww!!! So cool :D What a huge step for her and you both :-) Coffee shops near a park are the best! Curious to see what you'll make - and don't forget people near parks might just want to stop in to buy some bites for a 'spur of the moment' picnic :D

I’ll keep you updated! She has big plans...

I'm actually excited for her... Can you imagine, a physical space to do stuff with - I feel so 'pixelated' now :')

Hehe. I can imagine! It is definitely a huge step for her, but she had no hesitations.
Dream big they say...so she does

I like her :D And you sound proud. Awesome. If it's finished send me an invite and I might come taste the coffee :D

It should be easy for you. Jumping all over Europe like “bang!” big brother is watching you :P

Of course I will!

Hahaha - watch me go if STEEM gets to 5$! Looking forward to it! :D

Put a sign "Free Wifi" and people will get attracted to your GF's coffee shop @mindtrap
I wish her success and prosperity.

Hey awesome congrats to her!

I do point of sale solutions for restaurants and cafes and the one most are happy with is Touch Bistro. Everything is done on an iPad and you just have to pay monthly for the license (instead of having to pay a pile up front to own it)

Happy to help however I can.
