F.A.Q'S
Why no daytime hours of operation? And why open at midnight?
In doing the market research for our shop I had to identify my target market which is college aged women and men who show up downtown at approximately eleven O' clock to hit the bar scene. I then had to determine the best days to be open, I determined this by spending many nights leaning on the fence at the Flame watching the foot traffic of my target market at night ( I think the local constabulary thought I was the next "Walking Man" in town ). Another consideration was the history of other shops that had been located in our location; all had self-reported that there was generally too much competition during the daylight hours which forced them to add more items to their menu which meant increased costs for inventory and storage, also by staying open so many hours employee's had to be hired creating costs for workers compensation, unemployment and God forbid one of the employee's ripped off the till or gave their friends product for little or nothing. In other words too expensive!
Why the limited menu?
As I mentioned before the costs involved with an increased menu do not make it feasible. Also at bar time people sometime have a difficult time deciding exactly what they want, I try to keep it as simple as possible.
Do you accept credit cards for food items?
Yes. Teddy's Tubesteaks can now accept credit cards for food items. Master Card - Visa - Discover Card
What makes your product better than other places?
We take great pride in our products and the physical appearance of the shop, for example we serve Klements meat products, these sausages are for concession only which means you can not purchase them at a grocery store. Our cheese products come from Gehl's® our apparel is of the highest quality featuring the JERZEES™ and GILDAN™ heavy weight lines and our latest offering comes from SuperPretzel®. We also purchase our produce locally as much as possible.
Our products are served open faced because we take great pride in all our offerings. We don't have a beautiful picture displayed of the product only to have a disappointment covered by tight fitting wrappers or hidden inside a box; the always fresh condiments are easily accessed by the customer for their total satisfaction.
The store itself is always attractive, featuring a gleaming stainless steel counter top that reassures the consumer that the surfaces they come in contact with are sanitary. The cooking areas are exposed to show the customer that we have no dirty little secrets hiding behind a wall.
As stated earlier we run the shop "close to the vest" which means we can offer our outstanding products at a very competitive price.
I hope that I have answered your most frequently asked questions, but if not there is direct link to my E-mail on this web-site.
Later… Teddy
