Working 105 hours a week for months and taxes coming in and a drunk Mexican helper.
Working with dimes and nickles And then I started seeing food cost go up weekly.
There are 3 empty stores within a 2 block radius.
The Jew wanted my specific location and has no use fo foodr store..
My plan was to sell it for 25k in escrow then stall for several months while I fucked the landlord and utilities and food venders for another 20k+ but the Jew was smart and hard core.
I could have refused but with rising food and labor cost I didn't want to spend another couple of months trying to milk it for value.. It would have been the same 25k minus 2 months of my life..
I wasn't planning on selling but when I was introduced to hirem the clown. I took the 25k in cash and milked a another 10k. He wanted me out quickly and I stalled for 2 weeks..
I still have about 1k in CON Ed escrow coming as well as some munimul security $1200. I paid my taxes last quarter but I won't have to pay next quarter(minimally if anything)..
I will round it down to 30k in hard cash back in savings and rest for pocket..
I could have gotten out with a stronger hand but the EV was against me for the turn/river and position. Not enough value in the pot to risk it.
Got a freezer full of pepporoni and sausages and shit load of canned goods and dry pasta.
I took the doe machine which I can easily sell for $500. And the register and coffee pot and a lot of brick /brack that does have value.
The ovens would have cost to much to remove and transport.
I didn't even clean the place out. The Jew will open the door to rotted food. I didn't spend a penny cleaning or doing anything.. Just grabbed shit off the wall and left the plaster all over the floor..
That was fiscally the best option for me.
I sat at the table with 150k and walked off with 35/40k..
Not a winning session but it could have been worse..
Those Russian Jews are hardcore , ruthless.
Very ugly very miserable. Have no sense of anything other then self.
Once they have the advantage , they don't let go.
I've made Jew jokes in the past but if one of them (Russian Jews) is chocking on food !!! Don't help them unless they pay first. They would do the same to you. THEY UNDERSTAND NOTHING ELSE. ITS NOT ANTI SEMATISM , ITS THERE CULTURE THAT WAY.
They will use your Christianity or sense of karma against you.. They have neither..
Specifically the Russian Jews.

Reconsidering my options but definitely a couple of months down time.
I actually might sell weed.. Got a great connect from California. Great organics...
I possibly could have.. And the menu will change according to availability but all are top shelf organics..
Girl scout cookies..
White lion..
Sk1...
Cinnamon toast crunch..
1/8 for $50
1/4 for $90
I wouldn't do anything larger. Worse comes to worse I pay a fine and keep it moving..
If I were to be considering that..
With a small working class clientele, I could keep a few bucks in my pocket. It would be a 3k initial investment.
I really can't handle or want a job at 48yo and I'm looking at $15 bucks an hour for entry level.
I don't want to be a full time server even though I could hot 60k.. Just don't have it in me..(any more).
I know a shit load of working and middle class white smokers who are always looking for weed and can only find the occasional "Arizona " stems and all or who are intimidated to go into the hood for Kush or diesl. They have families and mortgages..
I have no responsibilites other then myself and a small monthly net income from my house..
I'm kool waking up at noon making the occasional sale and take it from there..
When you are banking on utility deposits to break even, it could have been much, much worse. No offense but you are destined to selling hot dogs at Yankee Stadium.Quote:

I try not to take it seriously or as if it never happened. It provided a different outlook in life as well as I'm burnt to shit but no regrets..
I'm actually looking forward to my semi retirement and semi part time hustle.
Unless it's franchised the food business is too labor intensive and too much over head.
Just that franchises like IHOP don't really make that much per investment for the franchise owner.. The Corp takes almost everything back.
I have an in with a fast food franchise as assistant manager or as a courier for amozon prime in Manhattan.
Greatful for the offers but not my thing. Not feeling entry level $15hour wages regardless upward mobility within the Corp.
Don't want to be a server even though that will get me 60k..
Il just sell a couple of 50,s of weed a day to guys in that rat race while owning my own life and schedule.
It's illegal in new York..Quote:

I get being burnt out and all, I've been there but your story just makes no sense.

Took the 25k in cash and worked it 2 more weeks and wasn't going to spend 750$ diging it up and transporting it..
The doe machine took all of us to load move it and load it..
I know owners that riped everything out. The tables the hoods , the light bulbs ect ect..
I don't have a garage, I have a drive way. Where was I going to put that monstrosity and then try to sell it.
A lot of work for 1k? Profit. And that's if we don't break it while moving it. Let the Jew worry about it..

Dough... It's fucking DOUGH.
Maybe that's why the restaurant failed.
*actual menu
Maybe sell hot dogs like Pooh?
I'm soo tryingvl tobl put it behind me. I got family members who never call, calling me.
Oh, are u alright.
It was worth a shot.
You needed more help.
Do you need anything.
When are you going back to work..(wtf? Fuck u asshole)
It's time to settle down now.
Get serious with your life.
I'd rather fail as an entrapnure then succeed as a worker.
Call us if you need anything.
Time to get married.
Do you need some money.
Did you fuck the land Lord.
Did you fuck that Jew.
What did the workers say.
What are you going to do next.
Are you working yet.
Are you still smoking that "shit".
Take a vacation.
Get a city job.
Just some of the questions I'm answering in a daily basis.!!
I give a lot of credit to Sparten for running this thread from start to finish and including us in. It was pretty unique here and got 23,000 views.
I give him props to admitting in painful detail the inglorious ending. I said elsewhere it has been my experience this guy runs pretty unfiltered and has a zero bullshit quotient. Thus, it doesn't surprise me that he posted the end of the tale with such honesty.
Jesus, he even killed the OFC prank.
$80k and his health for our entertainment looks like good value though.
Druff might consider the filling the 2 hour Lock Poker void with an "Ask the Sparten" small business advice segment.
You vanished from this site before I could arrange sending it to you.Quote:

Running a profitable restaurant is very hard. I remember mentioning this both on radio and in the thread. Most of them fail, including ones run by owners who didn't really do anything wrong. Don't beat yourself up, as the odds were stacked against you.
It's very hard work, with little profit or reward. A small percentage of restaurants make big money, but those are usually high end places which manage to catch on through word-of-mouth or a lucky location.
That's an industry I would never want to enter, though I actually believe I could do a good job operationally. I just wouldn't want to.
Also, was the $150k yours, or did you have investors?
This pound for pound is still my favorite thread in the history of the forums. Miss this guy, thesparten, I assume he expired. Damn shame.
Definitely top 10 during the PFA era. Larry Laffer would be another. I list needs to be constructed.Quote:

Yeah, the coolest end ever to a PFA member. He sends one or two messages claiming he's at an underground Russian run poker game in NY and they won't let him leave because he owes money. He begs for anyone here to send $ and gives multiple deposit methods.Quote:

No one really responds and he's never been heard from since.
Hope he's ok working as a waiter or something.
lol sal has a family and hes calling this guy on the phone bruhhhhhhhhhhhh
Brother thank you for brining this thread to my teams attention. As soon as my Filipino Assistant saw this thread she emailed me with "Priority"
I only have read a few pages, but it's fantastic. This Sparten is a real hero.
I always thought my life and journey would end up like his, maybe it still will.
Any other content from this guy? If so I would very much appreciate if you could link here for my teams review.

RIP thesparten or at least that midranger Bulova. Your tales were sometimes outlandish but always regaling.
Someone should email him at that email below to see if he's still being held against his will in the "rusion" joint:

Nicky Pipes would like to pay respect to Hut Master. He offered some extremely solid business advice in this thread. He was very generous with what he shared, I was glad to see him offer that support to American Hero Spartan.
After reading this I have a lot of respect for anybody who can profitably run a pizza shop. That’s a very uphill battle. I also have a new found respect for those who profitably operate businesses in very low income areas. I have never thought about it, but now that I have, that is one of the least appealing business opportunities possible. Anybody who can make that work has immense mental fortitude and determination that few can relate to. They also need to be very hard and tough while mixing it with customer service. Challenging
It was hard for me to believe some of the 2016 food prices. What a difference even when you account for a bad area. The guy was selling burgers for $2.00?
Also it was stunning to me what the businesses were selling for. $70k? $25k? What is the deal with that? Pal you’re telling me a could buy a pizza shop for pocket change?
If this Spartan guy magically reappears I would love to invest in a pizza shops in south Florida, I know a few areas that could use a shop like he was running. Do you?
It was also interesting to note tgull chirping away in this thread offering his business advice. The guy couldn’t run a lemonade stand
Brother I rarely eat out anymore beyond food trucks but there's always something great about local pizza.Quote:

They usually are barely subsisting due to shitty/no marketing but good communities embrace them.
Literally the only thing I miss about Portland is having loads of food options.
I go back to this, there has never been a better thread on PFA than this one, not even close. Hopefully the sparten is ok and will return to the forum.
