Hi,

We have an opportunity to rent additional space in our building. It would allow us to regain our front entrance and there's additional floor space that could be used as lounge or retail space.

We are considering subletting the additional space to help cover the cost of regaining our front entrance. But, we might do something ourselves in that space.

Does anyone out there have a non-food business as a companion to your cinema?

Curious and interested in all comments!

Thanks!
Sandra

Put in a candy shop............

Coffee Shop looks like a real plus to your current setup.

We put in a gourmet popcorn shop, bought a good used carmalizer and package all kinds of flavors for individual sales and gift baskets.

depending on your location: I saw a place that was a beachfront and he had a retail store selling all his posters and other stuff they'd get and the place was full all the time with poeople paying 20.00 for a poster! I would always say: compliment your operation: make it good for the people coming in and out: ice cream-hot dogs-coffee-etc. You want to be sure that people will come to both the theatre and your 2nd.

Thanks for the ideas. We're somewhat limited when it comes to food given code issues and the space itself.

But a combination of light food and gifts might work!
