My friend and I had an idea for a tea shop. We would call it Pups and Cups, where people could bring their dogs for a tea party. There would be tea and snacks for the humans, and warm chicken/beef broth and dog biscuits for the dogs. And another random idea I had, would be to have a little boutique in the tea shop, where we would sell things for both dogs and humans. And in the boutique we would sell stationary with flavored envelopes, and have a flavor that both dogs and humans could enjoy... that way you wouldnt have to taste that nasty envelope glue when sending letters.I know this is silly and random, but I thought it sounded like kind of a good idea. And also keep in mind that if we do it, it wont be anytime soon since we are only 18. What do you think?.--Answer1:LOL go for it :).--Answer2:lol...it might be silly...but i am silly enough to bring my dog there too..lol. I think it would be awesome! My dog would LOVE it. Good luck to you and let me know if you ever open...i might have to bring my dog:).--Answer3:Sounds good but I dont think selling food to humans and dogs in the same place will pass city ordnance.--Answer4:sounds like great fun and prosperous ~ if you lived in the United Kingdom (England) where they allow animals in restaurants.I think you run into challenges mixing food and animals together in most North American cities.I believe that they only animals allowed in restaurants (tea house, etc.) now are seeing eye dogs and other of like nature assisting people.--Answer5:Tea shops for people can be fun. I wouldnt go into one with my dog though, and I wouldnt enjoy my tea with dogs around. To get dog items in small quantities would cost you more, so you would have to charge more. Most people wouldnt pay more for things they could get in Walmart. Envelopes that dogs enjoy? I dont think so. I dont think it would work, but I would never tell you not to try, if thats what you want, and you can fund such an adventure. Good luck..--Answer6:Time for some market research. Lots of dogs where you live? There is a depression going on, hopefully you live in an upscale neighborhood. Do any of the pet stores near you allow people to bring their dogs? Go talk to the manager and ask him or her about the problems of allowing dogs in the store.Im not big on tea shops myself, but I have a beautiful female Akita named Sophie. Akitas are aggressive toward other dogs. If I brought Sophie to Pups & Cups, she would probably wreck the place wildly chasing other dogs. Lawsuits would probably result and heaven help us if any other dog got injured. Im obviously not going to take Sophie to tea, but someone else may bring an aggressive dog, for whatever reason. Think about it, stuff happens.Grandpa.--Answer7:In China, there is kind of saying: Starved camel is bigger than horse. Means, a thin and skinny camel is even bigger than fat horse, which means, once you begin to own a business, even if its not running well, you will still get more than working for a company. So whenever there is business idea, go for it now. Once you start, you will do it well. You may fail for the first 2 or 3 ideas, but you will eventually work out.
