Description:
Financial Education and Loan Services represents two chefs, Cornelius and Patricia Dobbins, in Jonesboro, Arkansas who are seeking investment funding to launch an innovative, contemporary, and fine dining restaurant (Jireh's Restaurant). The restaurant is targeted to the affluent, young, mixed-aged couples, university students and university personnel, as well as the employees of the large medical center, all located near its location. Several upper- and middle-class residential developments as well as eight (8) Fortune 500 and other major corporations are also in close proximity to the restaurant. Jireh's Restaurant atmosphere and menu will be fine dining while also contemporary and international with a mix of unique Southern and bold ethnic flare; several items will change quarterly to develop and maintain customer excitement and interest. The restaurant is located in Jonesboro's Midtown and also will serve as a coffee and dessert bar. Thus ensuring regular patrons visiting the restaurant throughout the day and evening, witnessing creative and delicious meals being served, via excellent customer service. Jireh's only major competitor is located in downtown Jonesboro and markets to that particular target population. The other restaurants in Jireh's immediate area are either fast food or major chains such as Red Lobster. A comprehensive Business Plan, Financials, Marketing Plan, and support materials are available for review. The owners are well-respected and very involved in the community. Mr. Dobbins is a distinguished veteran and Mrs. Dobbins is an ordained minister who founded a highly regarded non-profit. During the course of their 14 year marriage, the couple have adopted nine (9) disadvantaged children and are highly respected by social service administrators and foster care officials throughout the state. Indeed, this very community-focused couple will use these and other contacts to market their restaurant and intend to use their restaurant as another vehicle for community outreach. These are two very organized and professional business people who are very focused on their goals for success and will launch a nation-wide search for a nationally renowned chef to join their talented team of professionals. The couple has extensive experience both in back and front restaurant and food operations and have owned a well-respected catering business in Arkansas for years. Their goal is to develop their restaurant into one of the most popular, innovative restaurants in their region of the country.
