Sometimes I think you have a split personality
Does anyone else who trades with fidelity have trouble with their app? Mine seems to freeze up a lot since they did an app update a few months ago. Errrr!!!!! Annoying!!
Way to encourage some new investors geez. Sometimes opinions are better kept to themselves!
Grabbed some more myself. Feeling pretty solid and taking advantage here too. I will take some more spin off shares please!!!!!
Very true. There were conversations about it and just thought I would point to facts that I came across. A milestone has been crossed today!!
I am not sure if the speculation about roof top seating was ever clarified. Reading on the snakes website under the Tab “more about Midtown” is reads that there is a main floor, a second floor, and a basement. I wonder if they ever could add more seating on the rooftop in the future though.

We anticipate Midtown, our third and largest corporate owned location, to begin contributing revenues immediately. #earnings #growth #franchising
Haha just happens to check the feed at the same time as you!! I must say nice post though lol!! Congrats to a fantastic day!!

We have customers streaming in at Snakes & Lattes Midtown. Act cool guys!
I saw that pic I am so stoked right now!!!! I believe they could add a little advertisement. Even if it just reads “Grab a beer and we will give you a tour!” Some folks may not have time to sit and play a game but how about a drink, some food, or just to check out and tell their friends. I bet there have been many curious eyes passing by over the past couple months. If they can draw an early crowd and attention they could just pack the house tonight! Even if it is only for a drink.
I wonder if they have anyone outside greeting and welcoming people. I would imagine so. While it may not be busy yet they could usher folks through for a tour. Maybe they will grab a beer and take a guided tour. Maybe a chalkboard on the sidewalk that reads “Need a Christmas idea? How about a board game? It is one of our specialties and we sell them here!”
McMillan Design did a fantastic job on the design!! Looks great!!
They should have flyers inside with some guidance for people that may be interested in opening their own franchise. Some may have a friend or family member they would like to pass the info to. Also being in a college town there will be many who graduate with business degrees. Maybe they will plant their roots in a prime location and open their own snakes cafe!! We could spread like wildfire over the next few years!!
I believe you are right Lopus!!! And now we also have an EXCLUSIVE partnership with lending loop and also an EXCLUSIVE partnership agreement with CBRE limited to expedite our expansion!!!! Also now that we have a model to base our franchises on we will most likely not have as many changes during construction which delayed the opening of our midtown location. $$$$$$AMFE$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!
I wonder how long it will take before Midtown has those kind of wait times also. One of the busiest intersections in Toronto that currently sees an average daily pedestrian volume of 40,000+!!!!
I believe it was you Rocket that had pointed out before how the franchise portion will not be eating into our revs as Midtown has due to the financing being on the franchisee and not on AMFE. That alone is huge as we reap the reward! Sell our model to others and collect on profits. Does anyone have any idea how much profit will come back to AMFE? Is it a percentage of the net? I know we have some franchise owners on this board that would know better than I. Also has anyone found out any info on our franchise guru like what franchise he was in charge of rolling out before coming onboard with AMFE?
TORONTO, ON -- (Marketwired) -- 09/27/17 -- Amfil Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK: AMFE) is pleased to provide the investment community with a detailed update on current plans for franchising expansion into North America including a list of available franchises.
The Snakes & Lattes retail division is currently composed of three corporate owned and operated board game cafes in Toronto, ON. Over the last 7 years these have become renowned as Toronto's premier board game cafe destinations. Snakes & Lattes is dedicated to creating fun, accessible, and community driven experiences for all guests.
Amfil Technologies Inc. and Snakes & Lattes Inc. are now offering first right of refusal to franchise in select North American cities. Interested candidates will be offered first right of refusal to franchise in key markets per feasibility requirements. The franchise and corporate operated location expansion have been organized into waves to strategically penetrate the North American market, but will be adjusted accordingly as interested parties commit to franchising.
First right of refusal can currently be purchased for any of the specified locations regardless of their respective wave. There is no requirement for all locations in each wave to be leased before first right of refusal for an area in a later wave can be granted.
Interested parties are encouraged to reach out to investors@snakesandlattes.com to inquire into purchasing first right of refusal for any of the below mentioned franchise locations.
To view all available franchise locations please visit the following link http://www.amfiltech.com/snakes-lattes.html
WAVE 1
Wave 1 will expand the Snakes & Lattes experience across Ontario, beginning with a pilot franchise project to develop the first franchised location in Hamilton, ON. Snakes & Lattes franchise opportunities across the province will be supported by existing corporate operations in Toronto, ON. Key cities being considered for franchise expansion include Ottawa, Mississauga, Scarborough, Guelph, Waterloo, and London. This will solidify the brand's reach across the province.

Snakes & Lattes Annex, ON

WAVE 2
Wave 2 of Snakes & Lattes expansion will take place in the American Midwest, beginning with a corporate location in Chicago, IL. Chicago, beyond being a metropolitan center well positioned for expansion, is near to our hearts, as we have many friends, family, and business partners living and operating within the city.
The corporate Chicago location will lead Wave 2 expansion by introducing the brand to the American market. In addition, having our first U.S. national warehouse depot will cement growth of Snakes & Lattes Distribution, and provide support for regional franchise locations in the Midwest.

With three directions to move towards during Wave 3, the order of operations will be updated in due course based on national interest and management direction. Prioritized West Coast expansion during Wave 3, while likely, does not preclude the opportunity to develop East Coast and Southern state expansion concurrently.

DM!!!!!! I am so happy you are still feeling better. Grand Opening inevitable!! You will share our joy through this milestone and many more! You feeling better encourages me to keep doing what I’m doing for you and others on this board.
That is a nice chunk to add Lopus! Congrats on your buys!! I added a few today though nothing near that amount! That close felt nice today and I anticipate that snakes Twitter may be consuming my twitter feed tomorrow! Goooooo MIDTOWN!!!!! and Goooooo AMFE!!!!!!!
Just imagine multiple titles published each year. While I am not expecting any of them to make quite that much from one title alone it is possible. Add multiple titles together and the potential is massive!!! Snakes provides what the designers need with feedback while allowing them to test their games and perfect them before we publish and market them. My guess would be designers will be knocking on our door versus trying to gain funding through Kickstarter!
Thanks for sharing that pinch!! Great days ahead!!!
Kuberax.... I actually meant to respond to the message you were responding too. I’m just tired of hearing the I am AMFE long but..... speaches. How about pointing out the incredible amount of positives and successes we have had this year instead of dangling their LONG feet on both sides of the fence. I do not see how that helps their own investment especially while we await news. Remember new investors/traders read our board daily. Give them reasons too invest by pointing out the positives not the minor delays which others interpret as negative. I think people were spoiled with the communication before and have hindered the weekly updates by their own postings. I agree with Pinch!!
Read the last paragraph from FastMny slowly and carefully. Then reread it again slowly and carefully. Could not be more clear!
Confident in my DD!!
It’s coming! Roger is just packing in a little bit more powder to the bomb he is about to drop! AMFE!!!!!
Gail I am so glad I just caught your post before retiring for the day. You are one prayer stronger tonight!! I ask that you are truly healed!! :):):)
I should have figured it came from you Rockets. Your organizational skills with your DD are second to none. Hats off to you and truly hope you feel even 1% of the appreciation we have for you here because just that 1% equates to MASSIVE amount of love! Thank you sir!
Glad I don’t live in Edsworld!
Rockets wasn’t their a video or something where there was staff asked if it was okay to do a marriage proposal at snakes? After all it was where their first dates took place.
Haha I was just playing Aggie I hope you caught that I was not serious.
I am distracted with thoughts today sorry. What if us shareholders who were able purchased 1 or 2 games per quarter did so through Snakes website. Would you?? Are you more interested now in buying card and board games for yourselves and as gifts after being invested here? I am!
Maybe Snakes could offer shareholders a promo code discount on in house published games to help get the ball rolling on new titles! We could then write a review. More reviews may relate to higher sales as long as reviews are positive. Just a thought
Oh man!!!!! A snakes dating service!!!! I know that is not where you were going with that so on a serious note.... yes how fun to create new social interactions through an app service. The best part is games help break the ice during a socially awkward moments. Your idea helps form community Rocket. I value your comments always!
Snakes graphic artist could design some great shirts too besides just games. Based on what I remember reading about their artist he is pretty talented!!
Tons of opportunity there too. Catchy Snake phrases on each shirt. Each waiter/waitress could coordinate to wear/advertise the shirts while they work! Even if they don’t have enough room in each location to store a large quantity they could add a screen printer to their warehouse and print them on demand with free 2day shipping. Oh did I say warehouse?? I meant DISTRIBUTION center!!! Lol
I will be missing the show tonight but I will catch up on the replay. If any are able to call in feel free to mention creating an app for Snakes and Lattes (see earlier post) as I am sure others have great ideas that could generate a good discussion. I will try to contact Roger through AMFIL’s website email as I don’t have Rogers email. They could easily hire their own tech guru to develop and maintain the app as well as apps for other business. Consider it another string to attach to the snake “web”! How about a SNAKE WEB vision board in their lobby!!! It would showcase their creative side along with the future vision of the company not including the other subs but just the Snakes side alone. It would draw investor interest from big names as we already know they host corporate business meetings/events there. Lol I am rambling!!
But...
I am glad they have taken their time with this location for it is nothing short of a leap above the other 2 current locations. Those who visit with a keen eye for investing will see the undeniable potential from this niche business model which is hugely under supported yet in high demand. We are here to fill that void and so much more. Cheers all!
Lol thanks for the PM Juancy!! Would anyone happen to have Rogers email available? TIA
I think adding a Snakes app would be very cool! With their talented team they could create short instructional videos for each game, add their menus, event calendars, retail games, franchising locations, investors portal, and an endless amount of other info too. They could advertise the app in their window and customers can begin picking out a game while waiting in line as well as their food and drink. This could also speed up table times creating an even faster table turnover ($$$$cover charge)! This could even speed up the other locations as well and create even further revs per location. Ben and Roger will find many ways to maximize full potential from each location. Rocket had a great idea of possible take out menus and game rentals at the Midtown location due to the size of the kitchen. I could see an app being extremely beneficial for that aspect and how about holiday game promotions. An app could be one of the best ways to advertise and draw a further customer base!
I love the idea of the tv screen. That would capture a lot of eyes. Maybe even a screen that can be seen from outside to capture attention of this standing in the waiting line!!
Awesome Lopus I? will also add DirtyDawg to my list! ;)
I? agree FastMny! It would not take much! Maybe even a small card like a desert menu could be placed on each table showing the history of snakes and lattes along with some simple fun trivial questions. I? have noticed Snakes Twitter seems to be into posting questions and fun facts often. The fun card could also show the history and where they intend to be in the near future with the expansion of franchises, publishing, distribution, etc. I? feel customers would be excited about possibly investing if they were made aware. No better conviction of the company’s current and future success than experiencing its popularity first hand!
