Hi all, first and foremost, thank you so much for the support since November 2014. nook's Organic has been an amazing journey for us and we are all grateful for the support throughout the years, but as many of you know, we had to close our doors on June 1st, 2023. However...
I've been juggling with the idea of creating a nook's Natural. This will be the same basket of products, but will include natural ingredients abiding by the "Clean 15 and Dirty Dozen". This will allow our food costs to be lower and our price point to be lower as well. The advantage? We can appeal to a wider range of customers looking for organic and natural products. Also, this opens up many more location possibilities - we can now be in many middle class, high traffic communities (think Old Country Road, or Hicksville/East Meadow). It is also a more feasible potential franchise model.
On a personal note - In February 2022, I moved to Las Vegas, where I currently reside and own and operate an organic and natural bagel concept called Abel's Bagels. Check us out . We are off to a great start here.
I still feel strongly about nook's and would love to see it continue to stay alive and grow (many of you have also messaged me expressing your disappointment in us closing), but for that to happen I would like to know if anyone is interested in partnering?
I'm looking for and investor/manager who would be willing to own/operate/manage internal operations of the store. I can provide "the template" and ongoing consulting among other remote tasks - I have gained a wealth of knowledge of the juice bar and fast casual food business. What equipment to buy? Where to source ingredients? What are the hot items that sell? How much to charge? Where to open? How to set up a store? Train staff. Etc.
If anyone is interested in learning more about a partnering opportunity, please email me a [email protected] (Don't forget the dash in the middle). I am looking for someone who is serious about investing and managing, I'm confident I can provide the template for success. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE.
Thanks all and God bless! Nick
