One of my dreams as a child was to own a movie theater.  I thought it would be wonderful to be able to watch all the movies for free and provide a place that would make people smile.  This dream of mine carried through until I was an adult, but when I went to make it a reality, I realized that I just didn’t have the capital to make it happen.  So instead of starting out owning the theater, my career in the movie industry started out running a concession at one.

Now, you would think that running a concession at a movie theater would be straight-forward and easy, but it isn’t as easy as you would think.  When you consider that as the owner I was responsible not only for hiring the staff, but stocking the concession with candy, drinks and food.  It was a lot more responsibility than I could have imagined, but I learned a lot along the way.  For example, I learned how the wholesale candy companies worked, and how much markup there is on popcorn in a concession.

Based on my projections, I should have enough seed money in three years to put a down payment on a movie theater of my own.  By then, I should have the concession side of things worked out, and I am hoping that the rest of the operations are a lot easier to figure out.  It has been a lot of work to get here, but I know that I am on the path to attaining my dreams, so all this hard work is worth it.
