I just wrote in response to another topic, and thought I should post my question as 'new'....
I joined the forum yesterday -- it has been REALLY helpful to browse, looking for answers to some of the questions I didn't even know to ask yet!
I very recently moved to Ohio from eastern Washington state and am originally from Montana, so specialty coffee is not new to me (making it is!), but it seems like a semi-new concept in this area.... There are NO 'huts'! I've only seen one so far. Good opportunity? Or are people out here not ever going to be mass esspresso drinkers? Most everyone I've met so far only drinks brewed coffee -- most not even with cream or sweetener.
Any advice? There are Starbucks all over the place, so I'm thinking that is a good sign... This will be my first business venture, so I'm thinking drive-thru for now, and possibly getting into something bigger when I see if that does well enough.
Thanks so much in advance -- this forum is GREAT!!! : )
