If they make it somewhere that makes sense, like an industrial zone, then their business stands a perfectly good chance. Maybe they just decided a year's rent on a tiny store was a low price for huge publicity.</p> <p>2200sqft on Washington apparently costs $54 a year per sqft, so even paying twice that rate on 300sqft costs $32,000 a year. $32,000 isn't a very high price for infamy. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-765360 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:34:14 +0000 whynot_31 765360@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I actually thought it was an ok concept.</p> <p>It just amazed me that they chose to do it in an area with high rent. I think it would have made more sense if it was produced in some low price building in Bushwick, and then sold on line, or in novelty/gift shops.</p> <p>...but, yes, many thought it was stupid.</p> <p>I wish them the best.</p> <p>I look forward to sandwiches. I'll have mine with mustard. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-765358 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:22:42 +0000 MrLithe 765358@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>I know it's far snarkier to post that the mayo store was "stupid" and therefore going out of business, but if you read the article you posted, it pointed out that they are moving to a larger space where they hope to "double their output" and go national. It doesn't sound like this "stupid" company is going out of business at all. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-765353 Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:23:44 +0000 whynot_31 765353@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>As expected by many, the Mayo store quickly went out of business.</p> <p>Many deemed it as "stupid" from the day it opened.</p> <p>Other's walked by, and never saw it open.</p> <p>A Sandwich shop is coming. <a href="http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2013/03/mayo-store-will-become-a-sandwich-shop/#disqus_thread" rel="nofollow">http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2013/03/mayo-store-will-become-a-sandwich-shop/#disqus_thread</a> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-753308 Mon, 09 Apr 2012 11:55:51 +0000 whynot_31 753308@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>WE now return the Mayo store!</p> <p>Opening press:</p> <p><a href="http://thebrooklynink.com/2012/04/09/44186-mayonnaise-only-store-opens-in-prospect-heights/" rel="nofollow">http://thebrooklynink.com/2012/04/09/44186-mayonnaise-only-store-opens-in-prospect-heights/</a></p> <p>little containers:</p> <p><img src="http://thebrooklynink.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/IMG_04061.jpg"> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-753260 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 21:24:50 +0000 ribbons 753260@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>Walked past Inaka tonight and it looked cute inside and they had live music playing. </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-753229 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 19:29:10 +0000 whynot_31 753229@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p><img src="http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq220/whynot_31/photo-1-8.jpg"> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-753223 Thu, 05 Apr 2012 18:16:53 +0000 whynot_31 753223@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>foolio <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-752876">said</a>:</cite><br /> the japanese place on vanderbilt and bergen looks pretty near done. they were working on the facade tonite i went up and introduced myself to them (i know, that's not what new yorkers do. newish transplant from california here). nice couple running the restaurant. they'll have a sushi bar, beer and wine, and cooked japanese food and maybe different asian-y specials each month (thai, chinese, etc).<br /> the interior looks much better than the super generic sign they had up a few months ago would have indicated (saying 'JAPANESE RESTAURANT COMING SOON' in red block letters)</p> </blockquote> <p>Now open! </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-753158 Tue, 03 Apr 2012 19:16:10 +0000 whynot_31 753158@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>This guy is crazy about his mayo. <a href="http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/04/03/tsa-man-caught-trying-to-conceal-knife-inside-jar-of-mayo-at-jfk-airport/" rel="nofollow">http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/04/03/tsa-man-caught-trying-to-conceal-knife-inside-jar-of-mayo-at-jfk-airport/</a> </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-752876 Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:16:12 +0000 foolio 752876@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <p>the japanese place on vanderbilt and bergen looks pretty near done. they were working on the facade tonite i went up and introduced myself to them (i know, that's not what new yorkers do. newish transplant from california here). nice couple running the restaurant. they'll have a sushi bar, beer and wine, and cooked japanese food and maybe different asian-y specials each month (thai, chinese, etc).<br /> the interior looks much better than the super generic sign they had up a few months ago would have indicated (saying 'JAPANESE RESTAURANT COMING SOON' in red block letters) </p> http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt/page/2#post-751353 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 15:06:21 +0000 whynot_31 751353@http://brooklynian.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>arches <a href="http://brooklynian.com/forum/prospect-heights/what-isnt-going-up-on-vanberbilt#post-742273">said</a>:</cite></p> <p>Things that are not, not going up on Vanderbilt...an artisanal mayo shop.
