Hi Let Loose. Well, I see that you have had loads of responses but nobody to suggest a "Local" (storefront) so here goes. I live here in Madrid as of almost 5 yrs ago and about 5 months ago, I saw a rather large place go up for rent/sale. It is on the Calle Segovia just south of the Plaza Mayor, on the corner of the Plaza de Puertacerrada and Calle Segovia. It goes right through form the Calle Segovia to the Calle Sacramento. It has not been snatched up so I assume they are asking an arme and a leg but ya never know. That area is hopppin at nigh (both Spaniards and Foreigners alike). Anyway, if you want me to get the phone #, just e-mail me and I will pass by for I live in the Plaza Mayor and it is a stones throw from here. Also, whatever you end up opening, keep in touch, I have some connections here that could help you out in the Marketing area.
