August, 2019:
I have a vision of creating an incredible vegan certified kosher cafe inside Amazing Books & Records which would be a destination for vegans, foodies, and the general public of all ages, in a large beautiful space to which we'd also add new books, records, cards and gifts, and I'd love to have help with this rather than going it alone. I love the collaborative process, and believe that building a true team can make manifest the dream.
I am seeking a partner or partners to help me find and purchase a building in Pittsburgh to permanently house our store and cafe, and I am also seeking a phenomenal vegan chef with extensive restaurant experience, a great work-ethic, and a great reputation to help create and run a vegan cafe/restaurant, inside our bookstore at that location, as well as an experienced bookseller and purchaser of new books. Additionally I am seeking the capital to make the whole thing possible.
Pittsburgh's vegan scene is small, but growing, and I believe that with the right team, we could create an incredible store and cafe. If there were enough space for having several classrooms in the same building, I'd additionally like to create -again, with an experienced partner, a writers' workshop offering classes in everything from novel writing, journalism, screenwriting, and more.
I've eaten vegan for 24 years, and have kept kosher for 15 years, have owned AB&R for 6.5 years, and we have been profitable, thank G-d, since year one. Additionally, I have experience working in restaurants and cafes in various capacities. Please write to me at eric@amazingbookspgh.com if you're interested in partnering in one capacity or another.
Sincerely,
Eric Ackland, owner, Amazing Books & Records, Pittsburgh
