Muffins, Cinnamon bans, Cookies are in the back of the store They also have a cappuccino maker, small kitchen, tanks of coffee and an oven The Reason Why I Chose the Store First, I wanted to visit an owner who works for a big company but it’s very difficult to see him/her because they are too busy, so I visited a small grocery store near my apartment. I chose the store because I love foods and the store’s bagels are very good. I am a frequent customer. Also, I may have my own store in the future as a bakery store, and I have the same experience. I work at Japanese café which sells baked goods, salads, sandwiches, lunch boxes, and cakes and so on. I thought it will benefit me to know the basics of the entrepreneur even if it is a small store. The store has been owned since 1990.I was interested in the key to succeed in the business field in Manhattan for a long time. My goal is to be a person who can think out the new merchandize or buy in the merchandize efficient by reading the needs into customers sensitively. Also, I would like to be active in international business. This project would benefit me to know the current of Manhattan in the long term, how the owner captures the customer’s trend and what the owner need to start and operate a business.
