Willy-Yums Hometown hotdogs startup
Hi, My name is Rob. I'm 45, a husband of 20 years and a father of two boys ages 18 and 11. I work hard at my current job with 50+ hours per week sometimes with only one day off per week while working night shifts. I am the location manager of a rental car company in the 7th largest market in the country and I've worked for the same company for more than 11 years. I take pride in my job, my employees and my customers. I know the value of hard work, the value of family, friends and all its rewards. I am a man of honesty, morals and feelings and I will always do what I believe is right. We all have dreams and aspirations, goals that we work towards and a focus or drive to get us to where we want to be. I am inspired by entrepreneurials and friends that start and build great businesses like fudge stores, coffee shops, law firms and many other businesses. I read bios, research backgrounds and study marketing strategies and business models to someday make it possible to fullfil my dream. My dream for more than 25 years is an inspiration of a hometown favorite for many and a place I make a special trip to each time I visit home. They sell a product that is #8 of the Top 10 best in the world and in my hometown its #1, and in a state 2000 miles away where everyone is from somewhere else, people still ask for Michigans greatest. So with a few years research, education and getting certified and licensed I am now ready for the next step...
This is my dream...to which I am ready to bring to reality...
"WILLY-YUMS" (pronounced:Williams) hot dogs.
A small drive-up restaurant serving hot dogs from hometown favorites like Koegels, Nathans, Sabretts, Hebrew National, Hoffmans...etc. Offering spiral potatoes(tornado), chips, cookies and a drink, a complete meal at a reasonable price. I've done years of research and found that the average per person sale is $4.50 with a profit of more than $3.30 per sale and we all know you can eat more than 1 hot dog. Of course location, location, location is the best advertising and sometimes the most important aspect for any business, after a quality product. I have a location...Its on the main business strip, a primary road between two world known tourist destinations(Anna Maria island and Siesta Key Beach), next to a bus stop, a new car dealership with a maintenance shop and in a parking lot of a multi unit plaza including a bank with a drive-thru. This building is a small 10'X10' building with drive ups on both sides, has electricity and water. This building is perfect for my dream business. My wife Kim supports me, her and I hope to open for business on or before May 12,2017 and we plan to work full time at our business, we also plan to employ 4-7 people who enjoy customer service and who share in our vision. But we need your help, Please. We need $8,000 to pay for the lease on this building plus purchase equiptment to begin our dream. With every $5 donation I will return to you a card for a free meal, with a donation of $10 or more a free meal card and a autographed menu from all the employees and with $25 or more a free meal card, a autographed menu from all the employees and a employee t-shirt from Willy-Yums. I ask from the bottom of my heart for your understanding and your care, I ask not to be judged for my financial needs but to judge me by my character and trust. Your support means the world to me and my family.
Please Share.
I thank you, we thank you, Love you and welcome you always.
