EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The concept for Kelly House Inn revolves around several key words: Quality, innovation, Value, Freshness and Service.

Kelly House Inn will be a superior, fullservice restaurant, located in the heart of downtown Kimble, serving lunch and dinner, and featuring responsible alcohol service. This new restaurant will give downtown Kimble the opportunity to offer residents, visitors and businesspeople a unique and welcome alternative in casual dining.

The need for such a quality establishment is well documented in a recent extensive study commissioned by the Downtown Kimble Area Economic Enhancement Strategy Task Force. The "Kingston-Howard Downtown Kimble Economic Enhancement Strategy 1996" report projects population growth as well as retail sales growth, along with a demand for additional downtown office space and downtown housing. Such growth will increase demand for other services and products. The study makes at least 50 references to the need for additional restaurants in downtown Kimble, with emphasis on excellent food, outdoor seating and dining alternatives (variety).

In addition, when residents were asked by Kingston-Howard what specific types of businesses would attract them to downtown more often, more restaurants and food establishments were at the top of their list.

There is little competition in the same category as Kelly House Inn. Most existing establishmentsthat serve alcohol are pubtype places. The Inn would further distinguish itself with a menu of food items that are innovative, topquality, fresh and "housemade."

It will operate seven days a week under experienced management, headed by Vincent Freemont, coowner with Anna Freemont of the Inn's sister restaurant, The Coffee Grinder Cafe. Kelly House Inn would draw on the strengths and capitalize on the excellent reputation of The Coffee Grinder, yet have its own personality, featuring unique selections of hot and grilled foods.
