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.

    Other people are giving good feedback.

    I will say I own a coffee shop and you can dm me with more specific questions or to talk numbers.

    My advice will be if you haven’t worked in the industry as barista and have truly mastered that craft, it’s incredibly hard to learn and even harder to train correctly. If you’re competing with other specialty shops that’s know what they’re doing, your quality won’t even come close and you will be relying solely on the “vibe” you create to draw people in.

    Sounds like the drive through might be a bonus too but not if quality and speed isn’t there.
