BAY AREA'S BEST BUSINESS LOCATION SCOUT! (me!) ~topps.
three businesses need to exist (re-exist, in some instances) and the sooner the better. i can help.
2. we need a mel's diner, as close to AG as possible. we need it in pleasanton, ca, across from the fairgrounds. -perfect! flashy cars, rollerblade service, fun music..
1. we need another barone's, like the one in pleasanton, except we need one in milpitas. italian restaurant, gorgeous patio, live music, music under the stars, weddings/receptions, outdoor nightclub/dancing; live concerts, special events.. and THE PERFECT LOCATION is on Milpitas Blvd, @ Beresford Square Shopping Center.. there is an abandoned/empty/vacant building, plenty of space, plenty of parking. -think it used to be an Orchard Hardware Store (?). -of course your best consultants would be the owners of the barones in pleasanton today:
3. ricks picks! like the ones i used to work at in pleasanton, & danville, ca. -family owned/operated, and owner retired, but! -what a treasure of a business, of a store! unique, funky, unexpected, intriguing, every changing.. gorgeous gifts, furniture, decor, but at amazing prices! -rick, former owner, used to go to the giant gift shows.. write a check for the trade show floor samples of lots of different vendors to be shipped to the store.. this meant we didn't have duplicates, multiples of items, but it did mean, we ended up with the best variety {the items any vendor wanted to show off, and attract buyers to their booth} plus we had some overstock items from a variety of vendors, and close-outs, etc. the most eclectic selection of items you could imagine.. and customers had to buy quick! -once its gone, its gone.. new items by the week
and i've spied a few vacant stores along piedmont in san jose.. several opportunities for the write person(s).
-sharing a few pix from my photography book, ..the adventures of Ricky & Picky... as posed and photographed by Sandra Harrison Kay
i had so much fun... but what i love about the collection, is how in addition to the charm of the adventures of these two sock monkey toy friends.. it captures the fun and funky variety of items you would find at ricks picks -best consultant, rick hirshberg, retired/former owner.
