Budget estimate

$150,000 – $250,000

No specific lease fee is disclosed, but comparable lease rates for similar downtown café spaces in Wilmington range from $4,000 to $15,000 per month. Assuming a midpoint of $9,500/month, the annual revenue from the lease alone would be roughly $114,000. Adding projected operating profit (≈ 20‑30% of sales) could raise total earnings to between $150,000 and $250,000 annually. Hence a reasonable budget estimate for the 1‑year contract is $150k–$250k.
