When I was in college, there was a place in town called Bagel Depot. I loved the concept of Bagel Depot, even though I didn't take advantage of it too often, and I've thought of doing something similar if I had the drive and startup money to put this thing together in the right area. Bagel Depot was a success because it always had people in it, even if it was a money-laundering business for the mob. The store opened at 9:30pm, stayed open all night and then closed at 3:30pm, which was when the bakers came in to bake fresh bagels for the night. The brilliant part about it was that all the college students came in during the night, especially during finals, and then the regular townies came in for breakfast and lunch. Plus, the bagels were pretty damn decent, and the bakers didn't have to work the overnight shift like usual so the food was fresh for the morning -- the food had to be fresh at 9:30pm, so the bakers worked the evening shift. So... anyone got a few hundred thousand dollars lying around they want to loan me? UCLA is pretty close, and I'm sure there's some prime real estate around where a Bagel Depot would do well.
