She Outshines Them All (Athena and Matthew)

Chapter 318

The family fell silent for a moment.

Those who weren't familiar with the industry refrained from speaking, waiting for the more knowledgeable to share their thoughts.

Brandon said, "I agree with Mr. Frowick's analysis. Pouring more money into real estate doesn't seem wise at this point. But if the land is cheap, we could buy it for other uses."

Athena added, "Though I'm not particularly invested in real estate, I also don't think the market will stay hot forever. Getting out sooner might be a good move. I lean more toward developing industries or service sectors. Maria chimed in, "Bard Garden is massive, and once all the residents move in, that's a huge customer base. How about we build a supermarket, shopping mall, or even another Donovan's Restaurant?" Wesley said, "That plot of land might be a bit small for another residential development, but if we use it for a supermarket, there would be a lot of unused space left, which seems like a bit of a waste.

"As for a shopping mall, Kitmore City already has enough of those. With the rise of online shopping, so many physical stores have closed. It seems too risky."

Claire massaged her shoulders and said, "A lot of customers have asked if we'd open a second location, but Arthur and I are already swamped managing one restaurant. We really don't want the extra workload.

"If we did open another branch, I wouldn't feel comfortable letting others manage it. I'd rather focus on perfecting the one we have."

Arthur nodded while eating. "I agree. Reputation is everything. Plenty of famous restaurant chains lose their quality by expanding too fast, and eventually, their name is tarnished."

Wesley added, "We're heading into an aging society, and more young people don't want to marry or have kids. The issue of elder care is becoming more pressing.

"I've considered using that land to build a retirement home, but working in elder care can lead to a lot of disputes, which are tough to manage. I think this kind of project should be left to professionals." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Athena then suggested, "A large supermarket could work, and as for the extra space, maybe we could set up a daycare center? One that cares for both children and elderly during the day." "Daycare?" Their eyes lit up. "That sounds interesting."

explained, "To avoid potential disputes, the daycare could set certain conditions, like only offering daytime
