Talking about a Business Idea.

A: Rob, I have a terrific business idea.

B: Oh really? I'm all ears.

A: We can open a juice bar!

B: Come again?  A juice bar?  What exactly is that?

A: It's a small shop or stand that sells fruit and vegetable juices that are freshly squeezed.

    It can be a kiosk, a juice cart or a juice truck.

    Fresh healthy juices are very popular.

    It is a business with a low startup cost.

    Does this idea appeal to you?

A: Well, sort of... but who is going to buy juice from a stand on the street?

B: People who are concerned with their health and who want to increase their energy levels.

A: We're going to make so much money!  I'm sure it will be a successful business!

B: Calm down, don't get carried away.

A: How are people going to know about our juice bar?

B: You're going to have your cousin make a website for us. He works in it.

     You can also print posters and flyers and put them everywhere.

A: Okay. What else?

B: You're going to buy a juice machine, a blender, an ice machine, cups, bowls and straws.

A: All these things must be very expensive.

B: Yeah, but just think of all the profit a juice bar can make!

    But first you have to apply for a permit at City Hall.

    And then rent a space that includes a sink for washing and preparing the fruits and vegetables.

A: Wow! I sure am going to do a lot for this juice bar.

    Are you going to do anything?

B: Yes. I'm gonna make the design of the bar.

    It's name is going to be "Paul's Juice Bar"!

A: That's a good one.
