Description: The Happy Bamboo in San Jose, CA is a casual vegan restaurant serving classic comfort foods from American, Mexican and Asian cuisines. The current owner is ready to retire after more than 10 profitable years in business. I am seeking $60k in funding to purchase the restaurant at the end of March and take it to the next level. In the past two years the number of vegans in America has doubled and restaurant trends for 2014 indicate there is a fast-growing market for vegan food. Many dishes on my proposed extended menu are not available elsewhere in the Bay Area at large. It is the right time for this restaurant to thrive!
