We searched the web for different potential PR opportunities and successfully completed our list. Among those on the list were some of our guest speakers from previous sessions and days. We can’t wait to get on the phone tomorrow and let the world know about Cafeazy and Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp! We also went out on the streets to Chase Bank, Bank of America, Godiva, Carvel, Häagen Dazs, and Associated Groceries where we had our fair share of hits and misses. In the end we managed to make a deal with Associated Groceries, who kindly agreed to donate 5 gallons of vanilla ice cream to us! As for the other businesses we visited, everybody is now well informed about our upcoming opening and about the Teen Entrepreneur Boot Camp (although some of these companies were more gracious than others). At Bank of America we talked to Pam’s banker, Mahwish and will be in further contact with her later this week about a possible business deal (as well as with Chase Bank and Godiva).
This morning we all came into the shop with the pleasant surprise of seeing our name on one of the front windows! Michael did a great job of painting, drawing, and finishing the logo on the window!

Later in the day, David Meinhart came in and gave us a few lessons on interior designing and then we came up with our own interior layout of Cafeazy! We figured out what kind of furniture we want along with where we want to place everything. Besides the constant disagreement of different floor plans, we managed to come up with a blueprint that we all agreed on! Thanks David!
Cafeazy's future floor plan!
Our next steps for tomorrow and next week are to follow up with Chase, Associated, Bank of America and all of our other future participants. In the next few days, we will also be picking out our furniture. One week till opening!
