How does, for example Cumberland Farms make money off of their cheap coffee that they sell?. Comparing to our local dunkin and Starbucks or whatever it is you may like that charge over 3dollars for your coffee (if you’re getting the most basic thing) if not you’re paying over $5. Anyone that knows about this type of business know anything about this ?

I assume the coffee is a lure and they cover any loss with the other purchases you make once you’re in the store.
