how much do you think it will cost to open a sports bar?

Depends completely on the sports bar. You need more information. I've seen sports bars purchased and opened for $15,000. I've also seen them built and opened for $3,000,000. It all depends on the situation.\n\nBrandon O'Dell\nO'Dell Consulting\nRestaurants/Retail/Bars\nhttp://www.bodellconsulting.com

A new Thorntons or Speedway in Illinois has about a 1.5 million dollar price tag.\n\n6-8 dispensers (12-16 fueling points)\n4-5 ust's\nbig canopy\nwalk in coolers\netc\n\nBasic station..... 6-8 fueling points\n\n2 ust's \nbasic canopy\nbasic building... $250,000.00 !?!\n\n\nYou would be better off to find a gas station for sale...\nmake sure the ust's (underground storage tanks) have a clean bill of health.\nThen make it look nice and clean!\nMake sure you keep extreamly bright at night.  (inexpensive way of boosting your sales)\nRe-imageing a store isn't that costly and can be done rather quickly.

You should hire a construction consultant, general contractor, someone who has done bars/restaurants before.  It always costs more than you planned.  Be prepared!

It depends upon their popularity and dependability.\n\nAbout $50 per member is a good standard starting price, but already playing some venues.\n\nIf you are asking on the behalf of the band...well, they need to start out very cheap, if not for free, then as they get popular, then they can afford to ask a higher price and turn down people that don't want to pay that.\n\nI know the bars and stuff in my area pay $50 to $150 per member, for 2 nites, already established with a following.\n\nMost generally, what is the use of having a band in if they have no following, you know?  It's not just to have live music...they want butts in the seats.

The cost of the boutique is going to be determined by the size of shop, price of equipment {all needed to open} building rent{mortgage} and amount paying to payroll! And you will have a great idea of how much after completing a nice business plan! {a class or two maybe needed}

you probably will not find any bars carrying the fight the PPV channels charge drinking establishments, like bars and resturants about 5 thousand to put the fight on their bars. The PPV people can monitor the  venue where the fight is to be televised. But good luck

No but that may be the price your cable company wants you to pay for the facility.\nNothing's for nothing, mate,

Well, the first thing you should do is ask the owner for their blessing.  Let's face it you are going to have to tie up the parking lot as well as possibly paint lines.  They might not like that.  If you already have permission you need to look at whether you have the proper equipment.  Do you have portable hoops and balls?  You'll need money for officials and scorekeepers.  Do you have money?  Maybe you could get a local sporting goods store or restaurant to sponsor you.  You know if you made it a hoops for charity event you could probably get more sponsors.  You could collect money for entry fees, and donations.  You might be able to get the officials to do it for free.  You could pay off any fees or winners prizes, then donate the rest to charity.  Lots of people might be willing to help.  I know that Outback steakhouse donates food for charity events where I live.  You might be able to get stuff like pizza or subs too.  There are so many possibilities.  Once you get the sponsors you just have to market your event to get people to come out.

Talk to local businesses.  The best way would be to start a website for the track & field team if they do not have one.  Sell ad space to the local businesses.  Charge like $35 a year to have their business card scanned and loaded on to the site.

Ask some of your local businesses, that what most people do. Here a girl's softball team approached mine and another man's business and we contributed for Uniforms and some equipment. I even went to most of their Games and brought them Snacks and Drinks. It was fun and there many out there that will do this, IF, the team will go around and Ask and Inform the potential Sponsor(s)\nDo not underestimate the small businesses too, Heck, Bob's Bar and Grill may surprise you, or, Julie's Bouncing Animal Pet Shop. ;-)

My buddy, eightbraker, makes some great points.  At least one snooker and one carom table would be good to have.  There should be several TV's playing pool-related videos, maybe some tournament footage, instructional videos, trick shots, etc.  There should be pool posters, photos and other memorabilia on the walls.  I love it when the owners of a pool hall show that they have respect and passion for game by showing some old images of the great players of the past and present.  Full bar, with essential bar food, but no main course meals.  A pro shop would be nice, but more for accessories, like extra chalk, tip tools, scuffers, gloves (if you're into that), books, magazines.  I don't think the pro shop needs to be a cue supplier or repair center.  I think billiard retail stores should cover that.  Cues, cases, balls, and all of the bigger things should be handled by retail stores.  It should be open very late.  You did say "ideal".  I know there are bar times, but I never go to bed that early.  M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

It really depends on the brand.  If you want to sell on the internet and your balls are of average brand, you're looking at 50-80 cents per ball.  (This includes shipping)  For top brands, you could get up to a dollar or more depending on the quality.  These would Pro V1's and other similar balls.\n\nIf you own a pro shop and are trying to sell used balls there, the average going price is $1/ball. \n\nThere are many variables involved in pricing used balls.  I would recommend going to sites such as http://www.usedgolfballs.com and http://www.lostgolfballs.com to check out going rates for your specific balls.

Congratulations on finding an opportunity and having the intelligence on seizing such.\n\nHere is what I can help you with:\n\n1. When negotiating your lease, To cut down on your start us expenses ask them pay for all of the improvements needed in exchange for a share of the net proceeds for a specified time, say "In exchange for all of the leasehold improvements needed I will give you 25% of my net profits for the first 4 years" This will save you huge in the long run.\n\n2. Buy your equipment cheap, buy used equipment, try Craigslist, eBay, restaurant auctions; there you can buy all your equipment for 10 cents on the dollar.\n\n3. Do surveys of the gyms to see what would sell the best in each gym, do not be afraid to go out and meet the patrons of the gym, make it personal, say "Hi, my name is _____ and I am planning on opening a snack bar here very soon and I would really like your input on what you think would sell well, what would you buy?" After they give you there input, give them a coupon for a free item, or a discount redeemable the first month you are open. This will get them talking to there friends and they will also no you when you open and will be more interested in buying when you open.\n\n4. As for opening them, I would start with just one, to see if it will do well, don’t blow all $10k with this one though, and keep it conservative. Get your vendors to pitch in on the equipment such as beverage coolers. If your first one is successful start your next. Start with the gym that you think has the highest potential and will be most successful.\n\n5. This will really put a strain in your time, dedicate as much of your spare time as possible to this, try to cut down on your labor cost by working it yourself. The next best thing to your own free labor is hiring the most attractive females possible to work the counter. Think I am kidding? Go to most busy espresso carts and you will find them.\n\nThis is all I can think of for now, if you have any other question please do not hesitate to send me an email for further inquiry, jcattin@comcast.net\n\nGood luck!

It depends. Could be $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, or even a million dollars. Decide on your budget and stick to it. Find a advertising agency and see what the going rate for a 60 second spot might be.\n\nremember, your costs don't stop there. It costs money to place the commercials. Every time the commercial runs it could cost a $1,000 a holler, or itf you run it during the super Bowl, it could cost millions.\n\nOther questions, do you have a business plan? Adequate capital for a start up business.\n\nContact the Service Core Of Retired Executives to see if they might have some insight to your question. this service is free.

Planning is required years before laying any groundwork. Are there enough people in the area?\nIs there adequate space to build a new arena or use an existing arena?\nWho is going to buy the franchise?\n\nJust some questions to be answered before considering a new site.
