About
Hello! My name is Vera, and my project is about how themed establishments can expand their audience without losing their unique identity. I chose to work on this project because I am interested in business and marketing, and I enjoy visiting themed cafes and restaurants. After my project is complete, I would like to use what I have learned to better understand how businesses can grow while staying true to their original concept.Projects
