I wish you the best of luck.But a business based on beef-jerkey in Newport?Really?

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?
