@Riot A Proposition: Dorans Cafe
(TL;DR - I want to build a League of Legends themed cafe near the LCS stadium with lots of cool things and themed merch.)
Good afternoon to everyone who may be reading this!
First a little about myself: I am currently the head manager of a retail wine store, and barn cafe in a little town in Pennsylvania. Before this job, I was the head manager of a small pizza store. This experience goes back about 5 years, and started only a few months after I was even legally allowed to have a job. Along side this, I am also an avid League player. I started playing right around the beginning of Season 2, and have been actively playing ever since.
What I propose to you, Riot, and I'm almost certain that something like this doesn't exist but correct me if I'm wrong, is a themed cafe that would exist near by the stadium in which the North American LCS games are played. The cafe would offer drinks, small food choices, free wifi, big tv screens to watch all professional league action, and of course awesome LoL themed gift items and layout (posters, statues etc..)
I believe this would be successful for many reasons, the main of which is simply the fact that nothing like it exists. Where else would you go to surround yourself in an environment in which everyone around you loves the same thing that you love, and can share, connect and bring people together with one another. Not to mention the fact that my best friend and business partner is an amazing cook and baker, who could provide our guests with delicious cakes and lunches.
I have an entire pitch and 60 day plan for the first couple of months which I would be more then happy to share if there is interest. So I suppose my question is: Would this be a place that you or your friends would be interested in coming to? And if so, what would you like to see most out of the cafe? And if a red happens to read through and want to contact be about a possibility I would absolutely love to chat in more detail!
