It’s a drive though coffee shop

God forbid our teachers are caffeinated

Gotta save room to build more car washes.

thank god. that is the worst coffee place ever.

They could buy the old Sonic lot down the road…Honestly someone should have packaged everything from the old Dodge dealership down to right next to Kum and Go as one big strip center. It’s basically all been in varying states of for sale the past year or so.

Watch the zoning meetings if you want to see frat dudes argue that a drive-thru only business won't add congestion to an already congested area.

I didn't watch it, but that idea makes me laugh.

"Bro, listen to me, listen listen listen... it's not gonna increase traffic bro. It's just, like, NAHT."

Seven Brew sucks.

I mean, it's safer than Adderall 🤷‍♂️

I’m really glad they’re thinking about the safety of their children walking though. We need better and safer pedestrian infrastructure

there’s literally a starbucks, CFA, and mcdonald’s a couple blocks down. they can just drive 3 more mins.

I dont think thats the issue. As someone above me already pointed out. The issue here is that it takes away from just add more congestion and a higher traffic flow to the area that already has a really high congestion Rate and already really high traffic flow.

The whole traffic problem on Sunshine will NOT be diminished by the denial of a coffee place. Traffic and pedestrian safety is already a major problem on Sunshine.

Just wait. Starbucks will get the land, because they can pay more.

You know what would be nice? A bank! Better yet… a church!

>Just wait. Starbucks will get the land, because they can pay more.

Except Starbucks already has a location 1 block down the road..

why would starbucks place a location right next to one they already have? why would they cannibalize their market? that thought makes no sense

Like that has ever stopped them?

I have seen at least three different S-Bucks on different corners within a block of each other. Granted, it was a Bigger City, but those were based on pedestrian traffic.

Never, ever think all corporations run like Kristy Kreme. If there is a customer base, they will build.

ETA: I once lived in a certain part of Canada where I could see three Tim Horton’s from my balcony and there were two additionally Tin’s within a three minute walk of my apartment.

where? what locations? curious to look at that.

would like to point out that pedestrian traffic isn’t really a thing here in sgf. so that point isn’t applicable

Maybe in much larger cities, but that's not happening in this area.

How can someone use a la marzocco and then add 500g of sugar.

>Never, ever think all corporations run like Kristy Kreme.

Can you explain what you mean? I'm curious.

It'd be nice to have some Chinese food around town.

Don't we have enough damn churches?

And that scooter shop is a scam center anyway

Go a little farther to Taco Bell. Their iced coffee is pretty dang caffeinated, cheaper food if wanted, and less of a line than the above.

That’s the joke

😱

Krispy Kreme has a business model in which they don’t saturate their market, per se. As in, their stores have to be so many miles apart based on population and customer base.

Trader Joe’s might be analogous, but they’re a bit more pretentious about it.

Starbucks was in Chicago (and not even Down Town); Tim Horton’s in Ontario (but also not quite Down Town).

I see. Thank you for explaining.

I am a Krispy Kreme fanatic, I love them more than I should and is healthy. The store in town is also awkward for me to get to. So I just don't go. If they had another location or two I would spend more money with them. Recall when they had the location on Glenstone that is now a Panda Express? When that was one of their locations I was getting 2 dozen a week (not just for me, I share). Now it's more like one dozen every two months. So maybe now they are a bit undersaturated.

​

EDIT to add: Buying them at walmart or a gas station is not the same thing as fresh from the store.

Opinion rejected

Pretty sure that frat dude is a civil engineer with verifiable traffic data.

In the meeting I watched, I didn't hear him state his background and he didn't make a great case. Even still, rezoning a residential lot for a completely car-dependent business is just a move in the wrong direction. Sunshine is already so messed up (partially from the chic fil drive-thru.

Also, civil engineers don't necessarily have a tack record for helping communities be safe and self-sufficient.
