A hookah is an instrument, often glass-based, for tobacco smoking in which the smoke is filtered by passing through water. Hookah had been in existence and in use for several centuries. Although hookah were never that popular in European countries, they were still very popular in Eastern cultures like Egypt, India and Turkey. In line with the growing popularity of hookah, many hookah bars and hookah cafes were built and opened to cater to the needs of the hookah users.
In recent years there have been a small number of entrepreneurs that have recognised the potential of the hookah. They have opened hookah bars and cafes shops and stores that are tailored toward the rental and sale of hookah. In just a small period of time, these entrepreneurs have proven that the hookah service industry can be a profitable one. Opening a hookah business only requires low initial investment, and time to explore local regulations and restrictions for such a venue. You will only need to choose between a bar or cafe concept. The cafe concept is generally easier to open, while the hookah bar concept in college towns has proven to be the most profitable.
The hookah bar business has now even edged its way in to the European and American lifestyle. The cigar bars of the past have managed to pave the way for a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to introduce the concept of the hookah to the public through hookah bars and cafes. Hookah cafes and bars throughout the world have demonstrated that they can stand to make millions by offering the public with something they have been looking for in a bar or cafe. Certainly, hookah bars bring back the social and intimate gatherings of friends that have long been missing to the hustle of modern life.
