Easy Mony




There are a thousand café shops in Jeddah and they are successful. One of my friends is studying business and he is willing to start a small business. I suggested to him that he open a Café shop in Carbondale. I think it’s a good idea because there are a lot of students studying in SIU, there are not too many café shops and it will not cost a lot of money.

First, it’s a good idea to open a café shop in Carbondale, because Carbondale is a college town and there are a lot of students, and the students like to hang out with their friends on the weekends or studying in public places on the weekdays. He has to make a good atmosphere for them to stay in it as long as they can. So he has to have a high speed wireless internet access; therefore, the students can study, look at the internet, and check Emails with soft music. The work time could be open 7:00 am before classes so the students can get their breakfast, and close at 10:00 pm.

Second, it’s a smart step to start a business in Carbondale like a café shop, since there are not too many café shops in the town. So I believe the possibility of profit is high, because there is almost no competition and the town keeps growing day after day. Furthermore, I think the location is the most important thing; it has to be close to the campus. Moreover the shop design has to be modern and simple.

Third, it will not cost him a lot of money to make a big kitchen or buy expensive machines, because all that he needs is a good coffee maker and a small refrigerator in a small bar. However the café shop will serve just different kinds of virgin drinks and small meals like a salad, cookies, cake, muffins, fruits, and sandwiches. Therefore the price shouldn’t be high or expensive for the students. If he does this he will not need more than 3 or 4 employees. That will make him save more money.

Finally, opening a business in Carbondale is a good way to make money. A Café shop is good business here because almost all the customers are students, there is almost no café shop in Carbondale, and still you can save your money plus have a profit; I like this idea because I think it’s easy to save and have money.

Hard to say could café would be successful in my neighborhood. I don’t know why exactly but these café’s struggling – business is not very successful. Maybe they are too greedy and prices are too high, as I think so. Only I don’t know the real reason for such prices.
