Our revenue is about 40 tier 50,000. We're doing 15 to $20,000 in profit every single month. And mind you, this is just drinks. We do not sell food. Coachella, we rank $84,000 between both weekends. And mind you, we were serving $18 matchas. That best, before I even opened the door, I was $30,000 into it. No, we're on our way to a storefront. We're taking a very similar approach as we did to the truck. It's only 475 square feet. So our rent with our triple net is about 6,200 a month. This is going to require a full build out with all of our equipment to get it under about 200,000. Raw expenses that we put into the business, it's been about $500,000. That's for this storefront, and the truck, and everything else that comes along with it.
