** Discussion on Space | |||
*** Would be able to knock down middle wall so you could see through from the front area to the back (through a staircase) | |||
*** Mezzanine could take the space of the current outdoor storage at the North shop | |||
*** Pretty much move-in ready; could direct people to the backroom, not keeping any merchandise in the front area | |||
*** A 3-month timeline to move, set-up, get people in the doors would be quite tight. Should have time buffer in case things don't work out exactly as planned. Don't have enough time to pull off the move before the peak season. | |||
*** Would likely lose about half of volunteers due to location shift | |||
*** To regain traffic from south shop move, it took 1.5 years | |||
*** Permitting would be easier if not doing renovations | |||
*** Without needing to take down walls or doing renovations, could transform space in a month (estimate) ==> this could reduce risk of losing volunteers and patrons by maintaining the open shop | |||
*** In south shop renovation, had a full-time volunteer to support the renovations and putting on finishes; should consider the cost of renovations and cost of moving, reduced revenues for the first year | |||
*** Would need to consider putting more staff time for the shops, if we want to increase revenue | |||
*** Given the location, much more potential than previous locations | |||
*** As long as we can make up the difference in rent cost, then would make sense | |||
*** The area has the market for increased sales, but whether it would happen is not certain | |||
*** Would help significantly if we had a shop manager specific to that space; if it's a successful location, it would be more work | |||
*** If the shop opens when students start, that's a key time to recruit volunteers (though the fall isn't great for bicycle-related volunteer recruitment) | |||
*** If everyone's on board with this, then whole board needs to dedicate time towards it (and potentially drop other projects) | |||
*** Would like not to settle on a middle ground; aim would be to commit to a new space, sign a longer-term lease, or shut the north shop down | |||
*** Uncertainty whether there will be real estate available in a year or two when we might decide to move in the future | |||
* Next Steps | |||
** Arrange a viewing of the space with Matt, Feb. 11 @ 3:30pm | |||
** Meeting Tuesday, Feb 18 @ 6:30pm [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vps6KoHJwLM-jm6SmGXgIEUcqvWHmpUomSKprgRiVXU/edit Minutes Here] | |||
** Put together floorplan of space | |||
** Assemble a project plan with roles and who's responsible | |||
