ENVELOPE 1
The Bacon House
Executive Summary:
The Bacon House will be an exclusive bacon diner and deli. From grabbing bacon for home to sitting down to a bacon feast. The diner will offer all foods to some sort of bacon, while the deli will have every cut and flavor of bacon desired. All butchering will be done on-site. All excess ham will be donated to local homeless shelters and food banks.

Purpose:
The Bacon House will be a place that will welcome everybody, from the first time bacon tasters to the experienced palate bacon eater. We will have a diner up front and a deli in the back where you can pick up your favorite cut of pork and take it home and prepare it yourself.
We would like to build these destination diners within the major metropolitan areas. We need a diner and deli area big enough to house 500 customers for dining in, and 100 deli patrons,
