StreetLevel: Lucas Fine Foods Coming to Union

lucas%2011-09.JPG
A reader dropped a line to let us know signage has gone up announcing that a biz called Lucas Fine Foods is coming to Union Street between 6th and 7th avenues. The poster in the window says Lucas will be a cafe and sell prepared foods, and that it's opening in late fall. GMAP

Woo hoo!

Hopefully they'll have a nice prepared food selection, and if they do take away salads, this place will do great.

I'm hoping for something along the lines of BKLYN Larder (which I go to quite often) but closer to home...

Can someone please open these sorts of businesses on Fulton Street in clinton hill in one of the empty storefronts. Or just a green grocer type place like the fruit veggie shop down by Sahadi's on Atlantic would do a roaring trade. Goldmine I tell you if you know how to run a place like this and have the capital to get it up and running.

I don't understand how anyone can open a cafe/fine foods business in Park Slope. From the start, there's dozens of similar places, a recession and high priced real estate.
Then, there's financing, which, no doubt, involved a business plan and a visit to a loan officer. Finally, there's a failure rate of recently opened food establishments of 30% or more. My initial impulse was to call this venture courageous, but upon closer reflection, wonder whether the entrepreneur might have done well to listen to 1842 and find an neighborhood with a real need for a business like this.

If there are a dozen other fine foods places (as you say) then wouldn't that lead you to believe that they are all in business for a reason?
