...a concept in the making...
- concept idea built upon Newbo City Market, Cedar Rapids IA with special focus on the "educational kitchen" facility.
A city market is a place to gather. A city market is a destination location. A city market offers unique products and services. A city market is a retail space that is directly tied to the customer. A city market develops the relationship between the consumer and producer.
- The residents of Monmouth consume chicken eggs; why don't we have an egg producer in town?
- The residents of Monmouth consume coffee; why don't we have a coffee roaster in town?
- The residents of Monmouth ride bikes; why don't we have a bike shop in town?
- The residents of Monmouth consume bread; why don't we have a bakery in town? (we do have one specialty bakery)
In a "city market" the producer and consumer come together to the benefit of all parties.
...the following is a proposed operation that could be the foundation of a new Monmouth College Student Center (minus the caf)...
