Start up costs for a sandwich shop?

[dreamz]

how much would the start up costs be for a sandwich shop?

making your general panini's, sandwiches, smoothies, fresh juices, hot snacks, tea coffee etc?

is there anyone doing this at the moment? how could you make yourself different from your standard butty shop??

yeah that always grinds my gears too - when butty shops close early - i'm a late riser due to my night shift work and i'd love a butty at 3pm when i wake up.

i am planning to do the whole all day thing. maybe even as late as 10pm on certain days if i get a good property in a busy area.

I've got a few idea's on how to maintain a uniqueness - i wont for starters be a standard butty shop - more panini's, melts and bagettes and have a varied range of foods available

thanks for all the tips folks...

to the two rich's well i wasnt going to put up all my idea's on here! There's a place in manchester which is incredibly busy despite being in a pretty average location - its ran by a few friends of mine so i'm hoping to use that as a template.

howarth - some great tips there - i was plannin the newspaper thing - a guardian, independant and a mirror.

i think the whole office delievery is to be done once you've quite established a name and reputation for yourself.

definatly!! even in the grocery trade you can tell the busy shops from simply the fresh fruit and veg they have

one local shop quite busy had a change of owners who kept the fruit veg a few days more than they should and subsquently the business has died
