I am researching opening a drive-thru espresso business in the Las Vegas area. So far there seems to be little competition. Currently I live in the Atlanta Ga area. Any help about building restrictions, requirements, competition, building contractors etc would be greatly apprecieated. Thanks

Hi Mac - I've seriously been thinking of doing something similar. I recently moved to LV from San Francisco, love coffee but just hate only having Starbucks as an alternative out here.

Please contact me if you'd consider a partner of some kind. I live in Summerlin, have over 15 years exp. in marketing/sales/web design and have some capital as well.

Thx...Madeleine

We sell 3 major brands espresso machines, grinders, gelato, granita, panini grills, etc. Check us out at www.espressoimports.com.

We had a recent sale in the Las Vegas area. We can certainly find out who the contractor was, and the details of the permit process, as this customer just opened for business about a month agao. Very nice customer, I'm sure he's be willing to the share the information. He said the same thing - there is room in Las Vegas for alot more espresso stands and coffee shops!

Dear Mac:

I represent a Colombian Coffee manufacturer who has developed an automatic booth to sale coffee. I think this one should be useful to you.

Thanks,
