A North Carolina man is facing multiple felony charges after he broke into a Little Caesars after closing time and started making and selling pizzas, according to police. It happened Sunday, the day after a massive snow storm hit the state, and the suspect kept all the money for himself, the Kinston Police Department said in a Feb. 2 news release.
An arrest was made after the suspect tried to break into the shop a second time, police said.
This would turn Japan into an economic superpower overnight. How tf do you run a bar that’s only open 5 hours a week?
Very carefully.
Is that a thing? Is it just a property owner keeping a business running the bare minimum to hold into their licenses until they find a buyer or something?
Commercial rent is hilariously cheap in Japan. So a lot of people will start a business as a hobby, and the business breaks even in those few hours its open.
Then there’s people who just run a kitchen/shop right out of their home.
The bar in question is in a 3 story building, with the botton 2 floors for customers, so I don’t think the guy even lives there.
Theres a lot of foreigners who do something similar just for visa purposes; you run a “business” selling a parking spot or something to a neighbors or bento or w/e, and have an “office” that’s a desk in a shed, and congrats on the business visa.
Interesting! I wish it was that easy to start a business in the States. Sucks seeing so many empty store fronts in even high traffic areas, at least in my city. Licensing, rent, and zoning snuff out many businesses before they start.
Yup. My favorite lunch spot, where you could get 2 fish tacos, a good drink, and the best view in the area for 6 bucks closed, and literally has been vacant for a decade because they won’t lower rent.
That last part is getting outlawed very soon, though enforcement is a different story
Minimum revenue?
Insane that japan of all places is cracking down on immigrants coming and starting businesses, many of which bring in foreign currency.
They only want foreign workers that work for established Japanese businesses, farms, etc. Or are so wealthy that they can start their own business with large initial investments.
Japanese politics are so cooked.
The country is incredibly resistant to change, which is perfectly on brand considering the Edo Period.
