Hello everybody,
The locals look out/prioritise each other, so should we do us expats as well.
We all know how risky it is to start a business in Tenerife. I have had my ears and eyes open since years ago, and it is the first time that I come across a very promising opportunity here in Tenerife. But, I have now invested what I had in an apartment, so thought to share this with other British expats on the forum who may benefit from a bit of local intelligence.
The most popular, most central, and successful cafe/restaurant in Adeje town has closed down, apparently due to a dispute between the business owner, and the landlord. The cafe was located at the strategic junction a few metres further down from the town hall (Calle Grande 32). It has been evacuated now.
It used to serve great coffees, very cheap but nice bocadillos and sandwiches, and very low quality croissents, cakes, and pastries. Nobody has taken over the cafe yet as far as I hear. And it was the busiest cafe in Adeje due to a history of working 7 days a week from early morning till 11pm + free very fast wifi since many years.
The previous business owner has rented a new cafe in another location in Adeje, but the most important feature was its strategic location, and history of inexpensive products. It used to be the place that all gov, bank, local business employees had their breakfast, lunch, and locals spent their evenings there + football etc. The key to its success was superb coffees, cheap prices, reasonable quality (except pastries), 7 days a week activity, and its superstrategic location.
I am sure if somebody takes it over immediately before the history/clientele dies down, it is going to be a gold mine. The clientele were and will be dominantly Spanish speaking, and the staff of any future business likewise should be Spanish speaking.
I have this information as I live in Adeje. I dont have any more information, and dont know the landlord, so please do NOT PM me, nor ask me any more question here, as I have shared all what I know here, and if anybody is interested, he/she should come for a local info gathering/fact finding, and find the landlord himself through neighbours.
Just thought its something worth sharing.
Have a fab week :)
