The Smoke Pit | Application Preview
The Smoke Pit is seeking government grant funding to enhance their cigar lounge operations. The funds will be used to purchase necessary equipment to comply with health department regulations, stock the bar with initial inventory, expand their cigar offerings, and establish a memorial wall for a Cigars for Warriors donation box.
The business plan focuses on community engagement, particularly supporting veterans and small businesses locally and nationally. Additionally, there are plans to partner with cigar manufacturers to create a custom blend of cigars.
The justification for funding hinges on the fact that The Smoke Pit is the sole cigar lounge in the south side of Indianapolis, offering a unique experience not found in the area. While there are competitors like Bobs Discount Tobacco, Pipe Puffer, and Southside Cigar and Tobacco, The Smoke Pit stands out due to its dedicated lounge environment, superior ventilation, and aesthetically pleasing design, contrasting with competitors that have a cluttered appearance.
