We are D&JS... Drinks and Jewelry Studios, a social organization for artists, gamers, veterans, seniors, and tokers. Our mission is to provide a friendly environment for our members to enjoy snacks, treats, drinks, shakes, arts, crafts, games, and entertainment. We want to have a great location that is easy to find, with a large game lounge, fully-functional soda and ice cream bar, table and booth seating, lots of work space for art therapy, music, and entertainment without the interference of illegal drugs, miscreant behavior, or alcohol. We not only serve our members the drinks, shakes, and snacks they love, we take care of them like family.
There is definitely a current demand for our services. As Colorado's industry begins to boom, the demand for entertainment lounges, glass shops, hookah lounges, and comparable shops will rise. The current trends for the market would include accessories, snacks, music, and games. The one thing that all of these have in common is that all of the products make you thirty. We want to open an art studio with a soda shop and game lounge so that we can market drinks and art to the artists and lounge customers. Growth opportunity is absolutely possible with every drink and every snack we serve. This is one of the largest growing industries today. There is a Kickstarter campaign active to aid us in opening a permanent location. This campaign is a fundraiser that we have organized to gather donations and investors on a smaller scale while at the same time raising awareness about our organization and upcoming location. We have a simple theory in mind: Every single person and their input counts. There is strength in numbers. We foresee D&Js becoming a staple in the Colorado Springs/Citadel community. |
