Business Plan Project

[aryiman]

Hey everyone I am doing a microbrewery for my project in small business management and we are doing a business plan part by part. I am on the feasiblity analysis and I am curious if someone in here can give me some numbers. I plan on having a place that can hold about 175 people and its in a mid size city, Fort Wayne, Indiana. I am just curious how much the start up costs are going to be for about 6-8 brews on tap, and what is the montly expenses? Thanks for your help.

There have been many threads involving this topic, including threads that make fun of my post (How forums work).

Anywhere between 800k and 1M$ is a healthy estimate. No getting around it. Remember, you are building a restaurant with a brewery attached. This business is 90% gastronomy.

Ft. Fun might be a bit on the "cheaper" side of things, meaning $800K.

Im actually not having a full out restaurant attached to the microbrewery.

where are you planning on opening this place? downtown,dupont area,southwest. I am from the greater Ft. Wayne area and am pleased to see an increased interest in craft beer in this area. You should contact Todd Grantham @ Mad Anthony Brewing Company. He could help you with the information that you desire.
