Meet Nick Zubacs: A former designer turned “brew-your-own” supplier at\u00a0Brew North<\/a>\u00a0in Toronto’s east end. Feeling restless and looking for a change, in 2015 Nick decided to open a retail store offering all the supplies home beer brewers need to perfect their craft. Turns out Nick’s passion tapped into a larger food trend changing how we think about the food and drink we consume.<\/p>\n

Sensing a business need<\/h3>\n

In his previous life, Nick ran a small graphic design studio \u2014 a business he’d built after spending a decade working for others as an employee. Although the work was challenging, he says it was also \u201ca grind,”and he wanted to make a go at something else.<\/p>\n

In his non-work hours, he’d started home brewing as a personal hobby. In pursuing his craft, he was struck by the lack of nearby suppliers to meet his needs. \u201cGetting supplies meant giving up my Saturday morning and dragging my family across town to load up the car. It seemed to me that if I wanted more local access to home brewing goods, surely there must be other people like me, too.”<\/p>\n

Operating on what he says was, \u201cReally nothing more than a hunch,” he decided the time was right for a retail brewing supply store closer to home. The store, he planned, would capitalize on the \u201clocavore” movement of growing your own food, combined with the rising popularity of small-batch, craft beers. It would also feed Nick’s need for a creative outlet, and his joy in learning everything he could in order to brew better beer \u2014 knowledge he could then pass on to customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWearing all the hats”<\/h3>\n

Brew North officially opened in February 2015. Nick also kept his design studio doors open for the first two years while he fine-tuned the store’s offerings to meet customer demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn’t have a proper business plan when I opened,” he adds. \u201cI’d moved numbers and ideas around, but didn’t have anything concrete.” As a result, he spent the first 24 months discovering, \u201cWhat people actually want versus what I thought they needed.” In retrospect, he admits his initial plans, \u201cWere all completely wrong.” But the process of planning gave him the confidence to take the leap and open the store: \u201cIf I’d waited until I had it all figured out, I’d never have done it.”<\/p>\n

Today, because he runs the store solo, Nick says his day consists of everything a retail store needs from top to bottom: managing inventory, restocking, marketing, talking to customers, and even researching trends in brewing and technology that affect home brewers.<\/p>\n\n

Challenges and commitments<\/h3>\n

Nick says his biggest challenge is the time commitment of running both the business and the store by himself. The time required to keep the store going is, \u201cProbably the most unexpected thing next to inventory management.”<\/p>\n

As a solo business owner with a retail component, he’s responsible for keeping the doors open at the store, as well as managing all of the behind-the-scenes elements needed to be in place for the business to function effectively. Nick manages marketing and social media, business planning and financial management, keeping supplies stocked and forecasting what’s needed in coming months.<\/p>\n

Looking forward, he’s planning on slow-but-steady expansion. \u201cThis isn’t a good plan for someone who wants to get rich and retire early,” he says. Instead, his goal is to grow the business each year, while enjoying the process of watching it flourish. And the journey, while gradual, is nevertheless satisfying for Nick. As he’s built the enterprise to this stage, he’s met a lot of people in the brewing industry, along with customers who are as passionate about home brewing as he is. Although he has moments when he says he wonders, \u201cWhat the heck am I doing,” ultimately, he’s motivated by the opportunity of supporting a small local community of home brewing enthusiasts who share his desire to create the best beer possible.<\/p>\n

Finding your niche<\/h3>\n

For anyone thinking of opening a similar business, serving a small-but-emerging niche, Nick says the important issues to focus on are the current landscape for your product or service, how your business will be different, and how your offering will fit into the overall market for your niche<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI opened this business because I wanted new challenges\u2014and I got them in spades,” he says. \u201cAnd I sometimes grapple with mixed feelings about the road I’ve chosen, but the net result is positive.” This tempered optimism is what keeps Nick successful as he continues to carve out a path that both meets his needs for creative self-expression, and makes new home brewing opportunities available in his neighbourhood.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
