Okay we have a great location picked: only drive thru one a major commuter road w/ space for a small retail shop inside. I have a great supplier who works with other small coffee shops in the state. I have the plans laid out and everyone thinks its great idea.
But for renovations/supplies/ect its coming out 300k. Is that a horrible idea?
I have reached out to local agencies and haven’t found grants and I don’t feel comfortable asking family.
I’m torn between you only live once/this is my dream and omg I want to throw up.
There’s a lot of missing context here. Have you done a traffic study? How is the competition in the market? Is this business even needed/wanted? Is there enough of a customer population to sustain the business? Have you defined who your customer is? How will you reach them? Do you know how many products you have to turn over every day to be profitable? Is this a feasible number long-term? So on and so forth.
Judging by your vague description here, it sounds like you’re flying by the seat of your pants, so I’m going to take a gander that the answer is no, it’s likely not a good idea.
