Build-n-Share Challenge #209-210 • The Pet Shop Boys
As you look over the file in front of you, Rose returns to your table with a double tall skinny latte for you and a cup of chai tea for herself. Jitters, the new coffee bar in town, is literally buzzing with business.
"It's nice to get out of the office for a change," Rose remarks.
"Definitely," you agree. "Two o'clock is our meeting time, right?"
"Yes," Rose confirms. She glances at her watch. "They should be here just any second now..."
Just then, she catches sight of two men who appear to be in their late 50's coming through the entrance and rushes over to greet them. Showing them to the table, Rose introduces Neil and Chris to you. You all shake hands and exchange kisses on the cheeks. Rose rushes off to the counter to order coffee for the pair as you and the clients sit down at the table.
"Welcome to Sunset Valley," you exclaim. "I hear you're from across the pond."
Neil and Chris nod and laugh. "That we are, luv," Neil agrees in a charming English accent. "We've just finally gotten settled into our new flat, and are ready to launch our latest business venture - a pet shop."
"It sounds interesting," you enthuse. "Do you mind me asking you a bit of a personal question though?" you venture cautiously.
"Not at all," Chris replies. "What did you want to know?"
"Well, you gentlemen look more like you're closer to retirement than to starting a new business. No offense, of course... I'm just curious why a pet store and why at this stage in your lives?"
"Well, missy, you don't beat around the bush do you?" Chris quips, but there is laughter in his eyes, putting you at ease.
"We've been on the road for the better part of 30 years, luv," Neil interjects with a smile. "We've had a great career and enjoyed success and even a little fame. But, that life can wear on a body. We're thrilled to finally have a job with regular hours and a bit of stability to take us into our "Golden Years" as it were."
"We're both animal lovers," Chris adds, "and with a life on the road, I'm sure you can understand why we haven't been able to have pets in our lives for many years. Not to mention, Sunset Valley doesn't have a pet shop, so it seems like the perfect fit for us."
"Well, that makes perfect sense," you assure your clients. "What can I do to help make your dream a reality?"
Rose returns with coffee for Neil and Chris, and the four of you set down to the business of planning a charming pet store that will be just perfect for Sunset Valley.
Challenge Brief:
Budget - 84,000
Build a pet store on a 20x20 or smaller lot.
Include space for storage as well as an office for the two partners in the back of the store.
Neil and Chris will be hiring a groomer, so styling and bathing area will be required.
They will also be selling their custom line of pet supplies, so a retail area is required.
Finally, space for housing and displaying the animals for sale will be needed.
