I spent nearly two years looking for the perfect commercial dwelling to purchase with the purpose of opening a Tim Hortons Cappuccino shop.
I was hoping for a actually visible location with plenty of parking.
Big front windows and sufficient square footage for a prep area, display case, seating, storage, an office and bathrooms was pressing. My budget necessitated choosing a fixer-upper. I found a commercial building that was everything I wanted. The dwelling had been vacant for many years and allowed rundown. There were weeds growing through the pavement of the parking lot, issues with the roof, broken windows and water disfigurement from corroded plumbing; One complication was the heating and cooling unit. The packaged component was located alongside the building, taking up a significant amount of space in the parking lot. Large and noisy, the heating/cooling system was an eyesore and a detriment to the property. I hired an Heating and Air Conditioning business to check it over and he said that the system was not worth saving. He advocated investing into a rooftop unit. Since I already needed repairs to the roof, I was able to add reinforcements to handle the added weight of the equipment. Lifting the system up off the ground was a space-saving measure. It also removes operational sounds and the concerns with aesthetics. Plus, the heating and cooling system can be maintained or repaired while in official supplier hours without disrupting my purchasers. It also protects the component from vandalism. The rooftop heating and cooling component has proven appealingly effective, providing ideal comfort no matter the weather. The operation is efficient and reliable.
