It's certainly a unique opportunity. I wonder if the owners are members here on CC.
oh...I'm a little slow today! 
After reading the entire article I just realized that you only get the "business" the building has a 3 yr lease at $1200 month.
One of my hair clients goes to the bakery though and loves their stuff. He said it's like a little French bistro, expensive but every bite is delicious.
I know, then we can get together and "dish"... er, I mean cook. 
My hubby went to RW College, LOVE it there!!! We are heading out that way in July to visit my husband's friend's grave (killed himself in that same cemetary...) Anyway ~ I'm not even sure RI allows home bakeries... but they are in the central route of all the excitement~ Boston, the Cape, NYC not far, we have friends in CT... my husband hates the RI highway, but they are improving it so it's not as scary...
And a close friend of mine lives in Cranston, and his daughter is only 10 days younger than ours. RI bound!
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry about your DH's friend....so sad.
I remember talking to you about your friends in Cranston.....we used to live there before moving to MA 6 yrs ago. I couldn't bake from my home in RI, but I'm not sure it was a statewide law or just my area.
Move to MA.....it's definitely legal here!
I don't think it is a gimick it is a way to make sure the new owner is really able to do this. They are being very honest about what costs will be involved over and above the $59.95 entry fee to be a contender. I would rather shell out $59.95 and then the rent, permits, and other necessary stuff rather than the full $250,000 and all that other stuff too! I think it is a wonderful idea. I just wish I had about $15000 laying around for all the miscellaneous up front costs, if so, I would put my $59.95 down and submit an essay to them too...And I Live In TX and would never dream of moving, but would definitly put my daughter in charge of the business, cuz she loves being up North, too cold for me, but would go every summer! Would love to implement my fundraisers and community rebate program that I offer to that biz...wow...
I need to win the lottery! LOL!
But I would be one in 4170 contenders for the place. That is how many entries it would take for them to raise the $250,000 asking price.
Sounds awesome to me, I'll be sending in my entry fee and essay. My husband works in Woonsocket, RI and have been thinking of moving that way anyhow so he can reduce his long commute. Even if things didn't work out for whoever wins it, such as the rents were raised exorbitantly at the end of the lease, you still get to walk away with all that equipment and move the business down the road. Over time you can put your personal spin on the place but not too quickly, don't want to scare away the customers. Their food looks delish anyhow...well, I better start writing my essay, ha ha....
