On May 21, 2009 Beyú Caffé officially signed a lease to occupy 335 West Main Street, the historic Snow Building. The Snow building was built in 1933 and is considered to be an excellent location in the heart of downtown Durham, also commonly known as “five-points” due to the crossings of Main Street, Chapel Hill Street, and Morris Street.
The most pertinent question is, When Do We Open? As it currently stands, we have a projected “soft” opening date in the month of September, with our Grand Opening following 1 to 2 weeks after successful training. The next immediate obstacles we face deal with (1) the completion of our construction documents over the next 2-3 weeks, (2) bidding our project out to multiple construction companies and selecting a General Contractor to build Beyú Caffé, and (3) moving through the permitting process whereby we get approval from the city of Durham to build our coffeehouse, followed by a final inspection. We anticipate starting demolition and construction by mid-July.
