Press Release | 06/04/2020
Amfil Technologies Inc., (OTCPK: FUNN), is pleased to provide shareholders with a brief update on progress made with its newest and what will be the fifth Snakes & Lattes board game caf/bar set to open in Tucson, Arizona.
Construction began on the venue shortly after the permits were received in early April 2020 and has been progressing well. The new walls are in place and the team is now working on furniture, lighting, and the kitchen equipment. Certain aspects of the build have been streamlined which have reduced spending requirements overall. Management has decided to make changes to the kitchen equipment using the experience and success of Snakes & Lattes Tempe to better reflect the new menu that has had very positive feedback there. This wont delay the opening of the location.
The Snakes & Lattes US Expansion Team has been working hand-in-hand with the landlord of the Tucson property to ensure the venue is successful and have now selected and obtained approval for the venues new exterior design and signage. The designs were selected to make Snakes & Lattes Tucson the most eye-catching venue on University Avenue and be visible from all the way down the street and from the University entrance which is a seconds walk away. The landlord has also provided some relief due to some of the restrictions relating to COVID-19.
The liquor license permit has been approved for the ground-floor and management is currently working with the liquor board to obtain approval for the upstairs. With the current social distancing restrictions, the team is focusing on having the downstairs ready for launch and as restrictions begin to lift and if the liquor license board approves it, will proceed to open the second story.
The Snakes & Lattes Tempe location reopened last month and is one of the few restaurants open and serving alcohol as many other places did not survive the closure period and will not be reopening. Following best practices centered around social distancing from the restaurant industry, Snakes & Lattes Tempe are hosting guests once again and are happy to be serving the community. The company is looking forward to also re-opening the three Toronto, Ontario locations in the not too distant future.
