Yes and no. I get what you are saying but i preffer the money stays within the company. Once the customer walks through that door and gets on the waiting list, assuming the wait is 30-40 minutes, I don't want him going next door to grab a quick bite to eat, I'd want him to stay. If the customer knows the wait is worth it because the menu is good he will stay and wait.
What about organic pesticides? Can those be used? I have no experience in botany or pesticides just everyday pests mostly. :)
I will see what can be done.
When I was reading the reviews for the current S&L locations, i noticed that lots of people disliked the wait times and the menu which made them put comments like "go out to eat first" or "had to go get some food elsewhere while we were on the wait list" .... just commenting how I see them. Imo
A lot of construction on that block, the good thing is that there is paid parking right behind S&L, so no problem finding parking space the bad thing is that there is Harveys next door and McDonald's accross the street. Not sure if Ben is planing on having a big menu in that location but i hope so.
The outside sign hasn't been painted yet. From what I can see standing on the outside of the place is that lots of construction work on the inside, all the old furniture and bar stands has been removed. I can't see the second floor but looking at the window from the outside it looks like something is happening there too.
Renovations of the 3rd S&L location are coming along well, lots of progress.
Snakes and Lattes show?? Did anyone see it? I didn't even know it existed.

Renovations of the 3rd S&L proceeding as planned. This week was very busy in there, lots of demolition happening inside the place. Have a Happy Weekend.
Looks like the renovation work on the inside the 3rd S&L location has started. I will try to keep you guys updated.
This week should be a very busy week at the 3rd S&L location. Equipment auction is supposed to be today.
There are stocks on tsx with the market capital the same as amfe, 3 times less profits and 10 times the speculation. They have been trading stable at around 0.35 range.
Getting to TSX would allow me to invest with my retirement account but it will be 0.25 by then, still cheap Imo.
What you are reffering to is called RRSP(retirement account), we are eligible to withdraw pension funds at 55 years of age. We are also eligible to play the stock market with those funds but can't withdraw until 55. What Mike is reffering to is called TSFA tax free savings account. Its just a stand alone account that is tax free and you can withdraw funds anytime.
I am not sure if Canadian banks will allow you to buy OTC stock with your retirement money. I know TD is anal about it, extra headache may be required.
There will be and auction on the 16th for the kitchen equipment that is currently there. Big sign on the window. Will get the pics later.
Renovations of the 3rd S&L start this upcoming week. I will be watching closely.
Thanks, waiting for the site update.
Sorry Syboman, i don't have private messaging. Can you be more specific? You emailed who and what is not finalized?
Guys, Snakes and Lattes became an official partner with Toronto District School Board. This is huge news and there will be a lot of eyes on it possibly even from the ministry of education to make it go provincial. Toronto schools are just a tip of the iceberg, but that's speculation.
Now reality, did anybody find S&L or Amfil tech. On tdsb official partner website?

I can't see it, i know they are pretty good at updating their website.
If anyone want to sell gold to buy more AMFE stock, I pay well. ?
Roger mentioned that 2 weeks ago on the radio show. They will wear s&l shirts at cineplex locations.
An update on the # of employees hired to date would say a lot.
pictures of the 3rd S&L locationclick here
I can confirm the place is leased. There is a door tag on the inside the restaurant that says Snakes and Lattes. Not sure about construction or July. I visited the spring roll restaurant when it was open. There was no renovations done from what I can see. I'll post some pics when I get home and figure out how to.
Did they say it was July 2017?
Do you or anyone know where the 3rd location is supposed to be? I am here now at Yonge and Eglington.
Nah. S&L don't serve half filled pints. :) you must have gone to a knock off.
That's easy, just visit an S&L location. They will fill your glass up to the top.
Sounds like your glass is half empty my friend ;)
I share your opinion on S&L, in regards to GZ I can't dismiss the fact that it looks great on paper in a $50billion MJ market potential, ahead of everyone else with all the proper patents and aprovals already in place but 0 revenue. I want to see a PO before I get potentialy excited about it. Personaly I came here for S&L, it excites me plenty. GZ is a speculative bonus for me that's all it is for now.
Christmas is going to be $AMFE green.
Mostly speculation. The only thing that's real is the 2 restaurants EVERYTHING ELSE is a bonus for me.
Yea I've been here for a while. Yea just Imo. I didn't come here because of speculation so my view may be different then of those waiting on GZ. I came here because of 2 restaurants that are pulling over 4 mill in sales and further potential. Ever since I arrived here at around 0.005, I have yet to see a real # or PO from GZ so yeah just my opinion based on reality and not speculation.
