I'm not in that area but am in the state.

I live in a small town that is near a small city. I would LOVE to have a local coffee shop to stop by and get a coffee and muffin/bagel/scone etc. A nice comfortable place to sit and read, socialize, play a game and enjoy the coffee would be great. A lot of people in my town have commented similar things on social media.

That being said, I know that for myself, and I suspect others, I would end up going to a place like that MAYBE once per week. I can not justify $4 for a cup of coffee, a $5 muffin, or even a $15 freshly roasted pound of coffee. I have gotten used to and come to enjoy the supermarket coffee that I make in my percolator at home.

I wish you all the luck in the world. As someone else mentioned brand loyalty is very strong. And more so, LOCATION loyalty when it comes to attracting the daily commuters that would really drive your business.
