Given that my one and only passion (aside from women, obviously) is pool / billiards, I've always wanted to own an upscale pool hall and sports bar with a class 5-star restaurant on the second floor. Yeah, I like to cook, too. I guess you could say I have THREE passions:
#1 - Women;
#2 - Pool / Billiards;
#3 - Cooking
Matter of fact, I've had the blueprints drawn up for the past fifteen years that I drafted myself. One day ... one day I WILL have it.

I really think $25,000 isn't much for large adventures, but I guess it would be a start for my dream. Like the felt master I love to cook. Not Five Star though, home cooking. I always wanted a small place in a strip mall type situation for a Mom's type restaurant. A few tables and/or booths, home cooking at its best all from scratch.

Put a Mallrats-esque nude twist onto that and I'd eat there.
'And what do you say, kids?'
:IAF, myself and two noobs look up from our food and speak:
'Thank you Miss LadyLove.'

kindly explain.
hahaha i'm down with that
$25,000 is not a lot of money to start a good business, but if i had the money i would open a Hooters restaurant in my town for one reason and one reason only: to piss off the churches.
I know it sounds cruel, but in my town we have too many churches that poke their noses in everybody else's business and judge all of them as evil, twisted, and devil-worshipping scum.
I would attend the town meetings and listen to the critics and the protests and would memorize all of the male pastors, priests, ministers, etc faces because those men would be in the restaurant on sunday (without their wives and kids) sucking up water and french fries and taking in the local...shall we say "ambience".
Yeah, i'm twisted and cruel, but i like me and thats all that counts...
Of course all here would be invited to Wet T-Shirt Wednesdays during the summer, i cant leave my friends out can i?

I would need more than 25k but If i had enough I would open up a Heli-Skiing company in Alaska. If you have never been backcountry skiing/boarding you havn't lived.

Exotic Pet Store.
Ok so i'd need more than 25,000... But i got connections in the exotic pet business which would come in handy

Open up a tattoo shop... even though i can't tattoo i would have to hire in some people..
Being from Florida I am always seeing these small time lawn care companies with their trailers attached to their trucks, the only problem is that these people don't do work worth a hell of a lot, (I am already doing yard work for several customers who fired their previous lawn workers) and since I am good a gardening and yard work I would use the money ffor good equipment, and my own roofed trailer, and to put ads in the local newspaper, and treasure chest.

"25,0000$ isn't a lot to start a business" :wtf:
There are plenty, plenty of successful businesses started with far less. Even when you convert to todays dollars, I can think of a half dozen fashion houses started with less, same for many more internet companies.
If I had 25k to launch a business, I'd buy myself an interest in an established small company. (And there's no way the business would have anything to do with serving food or drinks to the public.)

Yes, I've heard that the corporation does too.
But, I've also heard that the franchise operators believe that after the ink has dried that the daily operations are like slave-labor and that (the franchise owners) complain of draconian regulations and bylaws. There are many articles about people wanting to buy a piece of the dream only to find that franchising benefits those that issue the franchise, not those that buy it.
.. if you still think 25k is not a lot, give it to me and I'll make plenty of money with your 25k to pay it back with interest.
