If you’ve been toying with the idea of opening a restaurant, bar or nightclub in Fort Lauderdale, this news may prompt you to take that leap: “South Florida Tourism Poised for Record in 2013.” According to the linked article, that prediction is due to the large increase in visitors from abroad last year: “South Florida hosted record numbers of visitors who spent more than ever, led by growth in tourism powerhouse Miami-Dade County. Broward County hit a new high for the budget year: 12 million visitors who spent $9.8 billion, up about 9 percent, thanks largely to surging arrivals from South America.”
And don’t worry that there may be too many restaurants in Fort Lauderdale already. A longtime resident says, “Fort Lauderdale loves—and virtually lives in—its restaurants. Hardly a day goes by in the city where the discussion doesn’t turn to the latest great restaurant find: a favorite seafood haven, the best spot for steak, a great waterside spot or a new romantic-dining discovery.”
If that piques your interest, you’re probably wondering how to pull together all the equipment you need in time for the tourist season. And the answer to that is easier than you think: Buy it all together, used.
