I’m actually currently living in Dartmouth, went to umass also, and unless I had a chippi contender I don’t think I could compete with mirasols. they have the college/gen z/millennialdemographic by the balls

I’m a fleet mechanic for a paving company currently, trust me, no disrespect AT ALL. Truck drivers and laborers at my job would never step foot in a boutique coffee shop lol

After this post we have been looking at commercial leasing sites in plymouth! I’m originally from carver so Plymouth is near and dear to my heart

Haha thanks, as long as I break even and can pay my bills I’ll be happy doing what I love

Yea we ended up writing off middleboro being that it was more working class than our target demographic

I don’t need to be rich, I planned to be the staff for a while. I have a few close people that would join in once were established

I love that little area too

I have a good plan to differentiate myself from chains, trust me. this is the type of place that won’t need to compete with chains because it will have its own niche market and charm

For sure, espresso/chai/actual GOOD drip coffee with locally roasted beans are my goals

For sure, I want it to be an attraction as much as a coffee shop, I have a friend who sets up multiple book clubs that we be pitched the idea to already! Mom groups I’ll look into, thanks!

I haven’t been out that way in a long time! I’ll take a trip, thanks for the idea!

For sure, that’s my goal. I have been a FIEND for mirasols in dartmouths’ chai latte, (vanilla chai specifically) if you’re ever down that way you need to make a stop for it

Oo I’ll have to take a look around that area, I’m rarely over there, thank you!

Very cheap, and simple. Biggest thing I’d like is a simple location to park, walk, drive to, etc. cumbies and the chain places make it very simple to get a cup of coffee compared to most small shops

You’re #3 recommending Plymouth! I see where this trend is going… definitely aiming for a nice cute spot for coffee and plants! Trying to merge some of my personal loves

Thanks! I’ll keep this page updated for sure

Right, kiskadee gets old too, thanks for the rec!

Thought about Plymouth, there’s a building for lease on court st too! But I’d be competing with a lot of other spots

For sure, I don’t want to talk about it for fear of my idea getting stolen, but business model isn’t a problem to compete with these chains.

I’ve also found small time coffee shops appealing to millennials and the younger gen compared to the big chains.

Not to mention self roasted or locally roasted beans being worlds better than the dirt steeped sewage Dunkin sells
