It is more then just cigs and lottery, He is utilizing 1500 sq ft for store space. He is also trying to get a Dunkin Donuts Franchise to occupy what could be half of this space, but he is going forward with the store as he does not know the status of his franchise license. Provisions are being made for the Dunkin Donuts, power wise, if it does go. In the mean time, he is requesting outlets for a coffee counter until the decision is made for the Dunkin's.
I asked him for the power requirements for the euipment he is going to install and after a day or two of him doing research, he tells me he needs "5 - 30 amp outlets".
I had asked him to get a cut sheet of the equipment he is going to purchase and the 5- 30 amp outlets is what he came back. I said thanks for the info, not much help at this stage.
The DnD will not have any kitchen equipment on site so there requirements are a boiler plate 200 Amps.
I wonder in the end, what a customer saves by not using an architect and engineer.
For as simple as it the project is, to trained professionals, the average customer has to make all the final decisions. Give him all the right answers and hope for the best.
