Business Summary:
This independent gourmet coffee shop is located in the heart of an upscale town and is open 7 days/week but no nights. The business buys the finest, highest grade coffee beans from a local proprietary roaster. It sells a variety of freshly brewed coffees, baked snacks, coffee beans, specialty foods, teas, chocolates, brewing accessories and gift baskets. The retail shop has the ability to do their own roasting and occasionally roasts green coffee beans in the shop. A new owner could either roast in house or buy roasted beans wholesale from the proprietary source.

| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
They offer a modest lunch menu which can be further expanded. Opening longer hours (they close before 6 pm) could boost sales. Also, more seating could be added. |

|
| Competition:
All competition has been established for at least 4 years, except for one 2 year old national chain shop. This had a limited effect on over the counter sales, with no discernable effect on bean, gift and accessory items. Competitive advantages are quality, freshness and uniqueness of its coffee because of the quality of the beans they buy and their custom blending techniques. A large, loyal customer base supports this claim. |
