We want to create a hangout for local teens? -

This is a little hard to explain. My friend and I live in an area where there is very little to do if you re under 21 and even less if you re under 18. We want to open a place where teens can just come and hangout. There would be video games, movies, wifi and we were thinking of selling clothes by designer friends and tickets to concerts in the area as well as food and drinks all night of course.We d like to make it a no cover charge on regular nights but we were thinking of having local bands play shows a few times a week and having maybe a $5-10 cover for those nights. So basically my questions is, has anyone ever done anything like this? What type of space would be best? How do we go about getting started? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

that place sounds so cool

sounds cool. have it close to a popular place like a mall. or maybe near the school so after school they hang out study and stuff. bands are tricky. i wouldnt get bands untill it gets popular enough or else your losing money.

I used to go to a place like this when I was a teenager. They had live bands all the time. A lot of the bands were garage style and made up of high schoolers or college age members. There were also snacks and a star bucks like assortment of coffee and espresso drinks. You will need to look up what type of permits are required and how to meet he fire code etc. I would think your best bet would be the cheapest place you can lease for an affordable price. The one I went to was in a down town area.
