Business Idea snapshots

Pioneer Smoke Shop
- Indian owner.  Nice enough to offer me a small pipe at a discount cost.  Didn't ask for anything other then general questions.  
- Business Idea: Tobacco Shop - role model.

Asian Convienant Store owners at Pike Place Market.
- Very clean, organize and both (assume) husband /wife working at two registers in the front.  Larger then average convienant store.

Later night walk.  Found Thoa's and slept on their front door.

- Usual late night walk and I found marche (window display of the full kitchen.  Nice setup).

- Family own oriental mart at Pike's Market Place since 1973

- Umisakehouse.com - Will contact to see if they need a sushi helper
