r/matsu

Hi there. I moved out here to Houston from Anchorage about 2 years ago. Im right next to a lake and a good sized City owned park (forest that I walk my dog through daily). Now that the snow has melted, all of the tree casualties are showing. To my understanding, if I am wanting to cut trees for firewood, there's a designated area near Zero Lake. Buttt, if I am wanting to grab what's already down, what is the process I should take? Having already called matsu forestry, I was told to get in touch with the owner of the parcel (which is the City of Houston), but I had originally started with a phone call to them and got directed to Matsu Forestry. Im kind of stuck in a loop. Any ideas before I call Matsu forestry back next week?

Back ground: moved here 2 years ago and spent most of my life in major cities and have always had deep ties In Asian communities. (I am a first generation Korean American, I will manage this place with the hopes of my son helping but if not I would be hiring a motivated personable individual) I don’t believe this establishment will be very large in sqft but possible the size of a Starbucks? Guess I’ll have to look around at leashing options.

The bubble tea shop was always a great spot to get a great drink/smoothie mid day into the evening time and provided seating for individuals that just want to telework in a location outside of there home (although it may not be the best location to have a meeting over teams due to background noise) or just relax and hang out with friends. Just to clarify this is not just for the Asian community as all walks of life’s would come aand hang out (but this was like our main Starbucks) Board games, jenga all complimentary. Would have at least 10 different bubble teas to choose from and about 3-6 tapiocas or lycees to add. Prices would be fair( off the top of my head it would be about $6 or a 12oz) and considering adding some more Korean culture and selling fried dumplings and Korean kimbop (Korean sushi roll no raw meat). Not a huge selection is foods but just a couple Korean Finger foods to enjoy by yourself or share with friends as they are intended.

Looking to build a staple business in the valley that your families can come relax and experience some Asian culture with great smoothies and food! Not just enjoy the cuisine but embrace the atmosphere and kick your feet up and relax for awhile!

Would this be a business you would like to see in the valley would appreciate? Any comment is a good comment and look forward to reading your thoughts (good or bad) all news is still news.

If not bubble tea if anyone wants to invest in a chipotle or
Chick-fil-A and needs a business partner let’s talk!
