Located in Guachipelin de Escazu, on the main highway that leads west from San Jose to Escazu, Santa Ana and Ciudad Colon the MultiPlaza shopping mall is opposite the Intercontinental Hotel, the Plaza Roble Office Center and the soon to be opened Meridian Office Center.
The MultiPlaza shopping mall is home to many of the brand name stores that you would recognize even if you have never been to Costa Rica.
This is an excellent location which will have even more customers flooding in when the new Meridian Office Center opens.
‘Cafe Cafe’ is the name of the business and has been established on the lower level of MultiPlaza for ten years. It is conveniently situated next door to Cemaco (home furnishings type store) just under the moving staircase that’s takes you up to and down from the upper level.
Just being able to provide the kind of reliable office delivery services that one sees in every US city could bring in thousands of extra dollars each month. Although I have not personally inspected the books, after US$1,500 monthly rent and salaries etc., the owner assures us that in February, March and April 2008 he grosses US$12,887 – $14,156 per month and that he nets around $5,000 – US$6,000 per month from the business.
Since the dissolution of his marriage, the owner wishes to return to his home country in South America and would like to sell this business.
All necessary permits are in hand and up to date for the cafe, a new three year lease has just been signed and this would allow the new owner to stay on the premises under the existing terms until August 2010.
We can personally vouch for the fact that this business has been well maintained for many years as we know the owners and we have met numerous people here for business. The staff seem to be happy working here and with a little bit of imagination, I think business could be improved dramatically.
