...so why will you succeed?

I agree. Not trying to be the wet-blanket.... but this is one of the questions you need to answer in your buisiness plan, and have a ready answer for when your investors ask.

As for artistic renderings of your idea... check with your local municipality as to what they require specifically for your paperwork. The renderings will be great for your business plan, but you will probably need full-on architectural plans to submit before you can get any kind of permits/licenses. Your city may be different, check first. Actually, check now so you don't start down a path and then have to back-track wasting time and effort.

As far as decor for the inside.... a lot of the artists here are/have been willing to display their wares with a price tag attached, meaning they are for sale. You get the display peice to decorate the bar, they get to display thier peice for sale and advertising. After you secure funding and start the actual build you can put out a Call-to-the-Artists here and you will be surprised what suddenly becomes available.

And.....

Good Luck! Thank you for sharing with Tiki Central and thank you also for inviting us to help you with the project! Please keep us updated as the project moves through the many and varied paths it will take!
