Business Assistance Growth Grant
Brunch City Café, a breakfast and lunch restaurant is planning on opening at 901 E Oakton St. To help supplement the restaurant build-out costs they are requesting a $100,000 Business Assistance Program (BAP) GROWTH grant.
Applicant Lumnije Halimi of Brunch City Café is asking the City Council to approve a GROWTH grant- provided as a lump sum reimbursement after completion of the restaurant build-out construction- for $100,000 towards their $786,000 of identified, eligible project expenses under the adopted BAP guidelines.
As listed in the proposed budget the build-out will include electrical work ($53,000), plumbing work ($137,000), bathroom remodel ($24,350), façade work ($53,000), kitchen equipment ($145,000), and HVAC work ($83,700) among other eligible projects. Because the BAP guidelines allow an award to cover up to 50 percent of the eligible project costs, the $100,000 request falls within that threshold. The applicant intends to open the restaurant in 2024.
The applicants stated in their business plan that their vision is to open a restaurant that redefines breakfast and lunch dining by offering a menu that harmonizes taste, health, and sustainability. Their mission for the 4,075 square foot restaurant is to become a culinary destination that can compete in the City’s restaurant market.
