Business Summary:
This local coffee house and bakery has built a loyal clientele over the last three years and is preparing for a brisk fall season as students return to school and the weather cools. Sales are up over last year and the trend is for an increase of 20% in 2009. The 1220 sq. ft. coffee house and bakery is nicely appointed with rich woodwork, bright display cases, and comfortable seating. It offers only the highest quality coffee from a local roaster, fresh baked goods and sandwiches. Customers can choose inside seating for a relaxing coffee break or pick up their order at the drive through window. A full staff is in place to serve customers six days a week, with in house music on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings. The owner participates in customer service between 15-20 hours per week. This is a great launching pad for someone with coffee experience who will be an active owner.

| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
This is the ideal size space for a coffee house and fixed expenses are being met with current sales. Growth in sales and profits will come from increased awareness in the market and perhaps from additional hours (open 7 days per week). This is a great launching pad for someone with coffee experience who will be an active owner. |

| Competition:
The business continues to build a loyal clientele through direct marketing efforts and referrals. It is on a busy main street and is conveniently located on the right side of the street for inbound drive-thru customers. Customers compliment the quality of the coffee and unique baked goods recipes. The business draws customers throughout the community, from commuters to college students to nearby office workers. Two nearby coffee alternatives have recently closed, giving this business the opportunity to gather in more customers with less competition. One national franchise is located 2 miles away. |
