Buying a bar

WillLongobardi · 2006-01-13T07:36:03Z

Hello im new to the board but not new to this site. I have read everyones stories good or bad, i have read every post on this message board for the past couple months and i have talked to many people who have visited the island or who have lived there for there 2 cents. I am currently in college in conneticut studying entrepreneur studies, i graduate in may i plan to move someplace warm hopefully the USVI. Right now i trade stocks online to make money and pay for college along with car... etc. I make good money doing this and as i continue to learn the market i get better and better. I am very laid back but not lazy looking for a beautiful place to call home. My first question is, im looking at buying a pre-established bar that can show good financail records to prove posotive income. Im not planning on making millions of dollars at a bar on the virgin islands but i think it would be a great way to may a decent amount of money and meet many great people. I was wondering that when people come down to the island and buy bars, or other buisness' do the locals look down on my type of people and kinda "boycott" the bar or is it usaly accepted. I am very outgoing and enjoy meeting people, im looking foward to the slower life style because im from new york and everything is way to fast paced for me. Also what island would someone whos 22-male look to move if i was looking to open a bar that would make decent money and have a very nice and friendly group of people who come in. Also why do more people not buy houses over renting and paying reciulous rates on apartments or condos in different areas? Im sorry if my questions are all scambled together but if someone understand what im trying to get at and would like to give me some input it would be greatly appreciated. I hope to see you all soon and get to live in the sureal environment like all of you are so lucky to do. Have a great day Will Longobardi

I'm in the Wine and spirits whoelsale business, there are many successfull bars and retaurants on the island. You have got to find your niche and stick with it. A really good sports bar would be awesome. Does anyone remember For the Birds - Back in the day it was a realy cool beach bar before Hugo messed it up. How much you willing to spend???

Ah, yes...For the Birds... I believe that Scott Beach AND Compass Point Marina have been purchased by an EDC company.
