I want to open a high end fruit market - I want to hire a manager
I'm considering to open a high end specialty fruit store in a high end Westchester town. I am looking further into all the details over the next few weeks. If I decide to do this, I'll be looking for a manager who will run all the day to day opperations. So part of my serious consideration in opening up this specialty market is finding the right manager for the job. Having someone who is very much a believer in eating high quality fruit would certainly help!
Does anyone here in this group know anyone who has experience in running a retail store/management? I have my own full time business that I run in Manhattan that is not related at all to fruit/veg. yet I want to try to move towards being involved in something that is so passionate to me (very very high quality fruit).
My target town right now is Rye, NY. My general aim is to stock the very high end fruit, as well go after catering and even try to turn people onto the health benefits of increasing fruit as much as possible as a diet.
The name of the store is going to be called 'The Fruitarian' I've already registered the domain - how cool is that name! I was shocked it was available :)
Thanks guys!

Hi, Michael. . .
Love the name. . . love the whole idea!
You are just fantastic. This is exactly what is needed to change the world. Energy and ideas like yours. I see The Fruitarian in every town. . . kinda like Whole Foods. Soon everyone will know the name.
Best wishes in bringing your idea to fruition. . . ♥
Love,
Julie

I couldn't be a manager/don't know of any, but I'd love to help out somehow. My sister lives in the town over from Rye.

Fantastic Micheal.. what a wonderful idea... Lovely drawing too by the way - do i recognize Anne's beautiful artwork?? Hey, maybe she would like to do the artwork for the "sign" of the shop or for the website... that would be very cool also... I can't believe "the fruitarian" was still available... good work!

Hi Michael,
I watched your YouTube videos, and now my new favorite fruit is White Sapote :). Thanks!
Do you also plan to have an online store version?
Good luck!
