| Real estate prices are but one reason I decided to plant my seed in a 2nd (or 3rd!) tier market. Owning 6500 sq. feet in NYC wasn't gonna happen in my wildest dreams. We're in this for the long hall and I didn't want to be at the mercy of some cash crazed landlord. Owning the property was just another piece of the puzzle. I love working in NYC but at 40 I wanted my kids to grow up with a big ol' 12 acre yard/woods and have access to great museums/symphony/hospitals/schools etc. It's about achieving balance. The other is competition. Our card rate is $85.00/hr $65.00 for prepaid 10 hr blocks. And unless you come with really good game, we don't negotiate. We've priced ourselves 30% above the rest of the market on purpose. It eliminates the riff raff from the jump. We actually encourage low ballers to try other local facilities. |
