My husband and I have lived across the street from this small town coffee shop for 8 years. I worked there maybe six or more years ago. The owners broke up and recently sold the business. The woman who has been running it has not been showing up and has widdled her hours down to almost nothing. In four months she has ruine what was already struggling. The saddest part is that there is so much potential. Putting in a drive through, patio seating, and minimal lunch menu. It's in a lawyer soaked county seat (near the court house) and is the only coffee shop for 20+ miles. Everything else is international or fast food. My husband and I now have four children and I quit my career to stay at home. I managed a coffee shop years ago in another town. Husb does carpentry and his body is taking a beating. In his mid forties and we're considering a change. Taking over this coffee shop across the street seems ideal. Trouble is, he'll have to work to pay our bills and I'm pretty busy myself. Is it wise to hire someone from the start in our case? At least until he can quit working? Are we crazy?
