Quintessence customers forming an investment group

[Guest guest]

The situation with the Q as it stands is; the lease expires in both

stores this year. Both landlords want to nearly double the rent upon

the signing of a new lease. With the limited customers patronizing

Quintessence as of today the restaurant scrapes by each quarter and

sometimes requires more principle from the owners to make ends meet.

Dan and Mun feel they have contributed a great deal to the raw food

movement and are thankful for the opportunity to turn so many people

on to the raw life awareness. But they can no longer borrow money

(under there own name by the way) to keep feeding the customers of

Quintessence.

We need raw food in NY and I can't see living on salads from

Bonobo's, learning to love the pile of greens and pate from Caravan

or spending my life savings at Pure Food and Wine (not always organic

and not always raw " ). Though all have some really good things, none

have the integrity, devotion or mission statement of Quintessence.

Quintessence has literally lunched the raw restaurant business in the

US and is a pillar in the raw community. More than just a restaurant,

Quintessence is a mission-oriented operation, here to share the

knowledge, to offer and set example for a better future. We really

need to keep Quintessence open not just for us and the food but as a

message that the world is changing, we are pushing forward and we

will not let it slide back. Dan and Mun have served us for 6 years

while compromising there own income, comfort, and a chance to pursue

any other life possibilities, adventures or dreams. Q must continue

serving there unique and amazing food and Dan and Mun deserve a

decent income with some freedom and personal time for themselves.

Maybe even have time to write the Quintessence Recipe Book we all

have been waiting for.

Several customers have expressed interest in investing in

quintessence in hopes of keeping one if not both location

operational.

Some of the Downtown customers are forming an investment group to buy

stock in Quintessence as a company. The company would have a say in

the operations of the business i.e. promotion, renovations, and

building market share… all members would be stock holders and receive

dividends as business breaks into the black. If you are interested in

being part of this group and being part of building Quintessence into

a message to the world that Raw Food is here to stay, then contact

Bryan or Arelene at the downtown Quintessence ASAP. 646 654-1823.

Please pass this on to as many people as passible NOW the end of the

your is only a few weeks away.
