Perhaps Uncommon Grounds should try and earn more income by doing some things different. The response I read to Steves blog blog.newsok.com/okccentral states the landlord only wants $45.00 per day all inclusive as his new rate. Isn't that like 8 Lattes to make up the difference in rent?

Where there is a will there is a way. Sell More if $45.00 a day is going to run out of business. The orginal $25 or so a day is definitly out dated and even at $45.00 per day that seems like a great deal. Hotdogs to the bar crowd,
lunch specials, 45. per day nothing with the customers there to draw from.

I think some businesss in Bricktown close due to managers and owners even though it is easier to blame it on greedy business owners. I believe in business you get what you put into it and if you are highly motivated you can succeed even if rent were 100.00 per day.

If you have no interest in changing things up and just walk away and close the doors on a popular loved business then maybe it is time to go.

If not then maybe it is time to look at your budget and see how just earning $25 It just doesn't make sense to me why all the fuss over such a small increase.

Sprucing up the place might not be a bad idea either. The front glass never gets cleaned etc.

The local coffee shop needs to stay but the owner needs to care weither they stay or not and put some real effort into making the business make more money.
