Green Beer and Jerky on Saturday - a match made for St Patty's day parade.

Good Luck Dude!

Tough time to be opening a business,especially now with tolls on both ends and the GA looking for more money.Sorry to come across as a pessimist but that is the reality of the situation.

As busy as we were this weekend I'm not worried about the tolls. I'll buy an easy pass and write it off on my taxes.

That's not what I was really getting at.You can write it off(maybe) but your customers can not.Think about this:RI has a new initiative called "crossRIbridges.com" and then ask yourself why the state needs to do this.You had one busy weekend on one of the nicest days since last fall and you had a bunch of curious locals come out.

Trust me,having been involved with this toll crap from the beginning I'm the first person who wants to see business succeed but as long as people like Paiva-Weed and Fox are in charge its a tough sell,these people have made RI the single worst place in the US to start a business.

Best of luck...ain't nobody out there that loves good jerky more than me.And I will certainly be one of your customers.

Most of the people were from Western Ma, CT, NY and Joisey. I guess those folks come down before it get's crazy busy and the hotel prices skyrocket. The toll sucks but it's not going to turn Newport into a ghost town. The people that vacation there in the summer aren't the type that are going to worry about paying a toll. I have done my homework on the tourism. The toll is gonna be a PIA for a lot of people who are within driving distance of Newport and want to come down for the day and obviously anyone that commutes to work.

Trust me there is no one more than me that wants to see you become a millionaire selling the type munchies I will die for.Matter a fact I will be down tomorrow purchasing a fare amount.If you're venison jerky is good...you'll have a life long customer!

Basswipes points are valid, but Newport will always draw touristas from every corner of the globe. And when the cruise ships come in... Bazinga!!!

Tolls are only going to effect commuters and they will never detract from someone coming to visit Newport.

The parking meters and the "parking Gestapo" that issues parking tickets do more to insure that people won't come back. That's a fact.

It's something like 60 ships. And the many timeshares bring in new faces every week.

I'll be coming down with about 50 people for a bachelor party in September and I'll make sure NJC is on the agenda for us. Like Jay said, there's tons of people from the hotels and timeshares and they'll be walking by the store. Factor in the music festivals, boat show, 4th of July and everything else Newport does for tourism, and business should be great. I'll be in south county at some point this week. I'll try to swing by before heading home.

I grew up in Newport and I just moved back. Uggggg

If there is one thing about the town is the number of shops that come and go on lower Thames st... That said the ones that go under are the ones that either sold junk or mis managed their money in the winter.

A tip... You are going to probably sell 1/16th the product in February than you will in august. ;)

It's a wood smoked peppered venison. It's very moist, wet actually. And it's very thick pieces of meat. I do have a buffalo habanero in the shop that has some real heat to it.

If you need any ghost peppers I have a #^&#^&#^&#^& load in the freezer. I also have trinidad scorpion peppers. Super F'n hot!!!

john Habs turned me on to good Jerky... oh man i can still taste it. it was lathered in beef fat. teriyaki strips. :uhuh:

Before Habs showed me the light, all i knew about Jerky was the crap in a bag you get at a super market... meh....

When i said "mis managed money" what i specifically meant was that new businesses would think that the money they made in the summer would be the same in the winter and not stash their nuts like a good squirrel to get them through the winter... :)

Have you had it? We had a couple in the shop over the weekend that were from Iceland. They said that they pretty much do it as a tourist joke. None of the new age people eat it. But their grand and great grandfathers ate it. I was told they sell it to tourists and laugh their azzes of after they leave. They bury it under the ground for months. I guess they make some good money on it but it's not a common thing to eat according to the cats that told us about it.

In my quest for infinite knowledge, I had to google Hakarle.. Wow.

Chef Anthony Bourdain described hákarl as "the single worst, most disgusting and terrible tasting thing" he has ever eaten.[1]

Chef Gordon Ramsay challenged James May to sample three "delicacies" (Laotian snake whiskey, bull penis, and hákarl) on The F Word; after eating hákarl, Ramsay spat it out, although May kept his down. May's only reaction was, "You disappoint me, Ramsay."[5]

On season 2's Iceland episode of Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, Andrew Zimmern described the smell as reminding him of "some of the most horrific things I've ever breathed in my life," but said the taste was not nearly as bad as the smell. Nonetheless, he did note that hákarl was "hardcore food" and "not for beginners".

On the season 5 finale of River Monsters, Jeremy Wade tries a dried piece of hákarl and describes it as "burning the back of his throat" and having a very strong after taste.

Had another kid that wanted to trade me weed for my beer as I was walking back from the liquor store. Had 1 Hott drunk beootch wobble into the store and sat on an alligator head in my picture window and almost went through the glass. People on roofs, hanging out of windows, people drunk falling down at 1130 in the afternoon! And it seems like dress code was yoga pants and no bras! My kind of Saturday night. I'll post some pics up this week.

I think he passed that point when the window decals went up.

The business has a good chance at success. It's unique in the area, provides instant gratification and has a variable price point that affords a tickle or indulgence.

It's also a food item without a lot of spoilage.

A small % of revenues are going to come from people driving to Newport just to get jerky so tolls aren't going to matter that much. That being said, what was just passed?

The key challenge I see is pulling people off the street. Another avenue to explore is how to create return customers via mail order as a follow on to in store sales.

But seriously, who doesn't like good jerky?

-spence

Well said, Spence. Basswipe must think the tourists are going to stay away from Newport now. A toll isn't going to affect tourism, and the locals are already on the island. Not to mention that it's exotic jerky, not beef jerky as he's claiming. It's not the convenience store slim jim stuff.

as i was saying.....:rtfm:

In the 10 days we have been open we have had people from all over the states and out of the country as far as Germany and Thailand. It's a unique specialty shop. Our average sale is around 50 bucks. We have had dozens of people posing for pictures in front of our store. I haven't seen any other stores with people taking pics in front of them. Beef jerky? Not even close. We had the most popular booth at the expo last night for local businesses at the Hyatt. Basswipe come to the shop and see what we are doing. As I did special order you some wood smoked peppered venison. The meat is over an inch thick!

It sounds like you are on to something, I would have NEVER thought of exotic jerky as appealing to the crowd in Newport, but people love tasty things so it makes sense.

Newport Jerky imposes ban on all associates of Vladmir Putin, inclusive, from receiving Jerky or other products marketed by Newport Jerky. Newport Jerky promotes fair trade compensation for their Jerky products produced worldwide. Newport Jerky spokesman, NewportMafia, stated in his official statement, let the Jerk sic Vladimar Putin et al, eat it raw... We believe Putin's actions against the Ukraine violate the principles of fair trade we so value with our producers and as such, Putin and his associates should not benefit from our gourmet brand jerky's from around the globe.

I took the wife and kid to Newport today and stopped at NJC. We were able to find free parking on Thames right near the store. The store is set up real nice with a lot of unique items you won't find anywhere else. They were sampling alligator and Cajun alligator jerky along with wasabi bombs and ghost pepper peanuts. Both types of jerky were great and my son made me buy the Cajun alligator for him. I was the only one who tried the ghost pepper peanuts and they were really good and hot, but not inedible. We also grabbed a bottle of hot sauce, some teriyaki ahi jerky and some maple brown sugar bacon jerky. We already tried the chipotle hot sauce and its a unanimous hit at my house. I'll post my reviews of the other stuff once we try it, which will probably be tonight.

I just had some of the teriyaki ahi jerky. It's got just enough teriyaki flavor that you notice it, but you it's not overwhelming. I definitely recommend it.

Got a dusting. I'll be at the show Saturday and Sunday with a limited supply of stuff ( we have way too much stuff in the shop to bring some of everything) My partner will be there tomorrow. You mentioned ghost pepper buffalo. If your really interested in that I can have a small batch made under our private label and have it ready in a couple weeks. Either way I'll take care of you when you stop in for a visit.

Ahhh, Jason has it going!!!!! He has a well thought opportunity.. AND the Ghost Pepper Sauce is good! Until I get the hotter stuff, in a few weeks...

Wash your hands after touching anything after you open it. Just sayin.

I'll be back Sousa!
