**PROP 450 Updates**
It's been nearly two weeks since Prop 450 got the green light, and we hit the ground running.
Our team is in ongoing talks with the current owners of the coffee shop (one of which has been keeping tabs on the proposal through nouns.camp and delving into the votes-with-reason), and now we're diving into the nitty-gritty – focusing on gathering all the information necessary to seamlessly transition ownership. This includes thorough evaluations of the lease, assets, existing liabilities, and the transfer of licenses.
We've had interviews with a couple of potential general managers. Both candidates are brimming with expertise and passion, not just for coffee but for the wider onchain community too. Speaking of, we’re committed to having am onchain payment options at the shop and are currently talking with a vendor to make this a reality.
Creatively, we're brainstorming the shop's layout and an overarching brand that will resonate with the city of LA. Talks are underway with a possible partner who could handle both design and a website. Plus, we've already started playing around with some [branding explorations](https://www.are.na/drew-coffman/coffee-in-la).
Just last night, we had dinner at the shop with one of the owners. It was a great chance to really picture what the place could become, and we tossed around ideas for how to weave the Nouns ethos into the shop's design, adding art and interactive features that spark the curiosity of everyone who walks in.
We’re also exploring how to align our operations with the CC0 model, setting a replicable standard for other coffee shops. Our goal is not to create just a coffee shop, but a model for how to nounspill people with coffee around the globe.
Looking ahead, we're gearing up to make the ownership transition official in the new year, setting up all the legal and financial frameworks necessary. We're thrilled about where this journey is taking us and will keep you in the loop as we continue to make strides.
