Its a nice idea in theory but you have to look at a lot of different things. If its a franchise startup they usually want you to have somewhere in the range of 150-500k liquid. Even after your initial startup you’re going to incur a lot of costs you don’t think about thats why most franchises want you to have extra liquid money. I’m not sure how hard it is to get a liquor license in WNY but I know in Vegas its not easy and its not cheap at all. Liquor licenses here start in the $150,000 range depending on location. Also if business doesn’t pick up right away like you hope you’re going to have a pretty large payroll since you’re going to have movies, food, alcohol, etc that will need man power to accomplish. Also, buying/leasing a building for this venture would require hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more for something the size you’re talking about. I think you need need a good investment banker and a good mutual fund.
