Description:
The Market Bar hopes to establish a change in your average bar, where guests can grab a drink after work or relax with a bunch of friends or co-workers in an entertainment environment. The bar will have numerous locations in big cities around the USA, in settings such as Las Vegas, California, New York City, Miami, etc. The idea of the bar is to incorporate the stock market into the bar setting. For instance, lets say you're with a group of friends, all drinking Jack Daniels and Coca Cola (Jack and Coke). You are essentially going to raise the price of that drink (since it is in popular demand). However, once people stop ordering the specific drink, the price will fall again. The guests will then rush to the bar to purchase the drink before it takes off again and reaches a higher price. Above the bar, there will be a huge screen with many different drinks available. Next to the drinks there will be the price, constantly changing. To add more intrigue, every half hour or so there is a market crash. In this scenario, prices of very popular drinks will drop for an extended amount of time.
With a plan like this for a bar setting, expansion is crucial to turn this into a chain all around the globe. It will provide a friendly fun atmosphere at your average city bar. Ideas of places to integrate this bar could be the MGM owned hotel in Las Vegas called the New York New York Hotel. As well as areas in big cities, that has a crowd in the age of the mid 20's to young 30s.
