Hey everyone, Im new here and my family and I are in the process of buying a coffee shop in our town. My daughter has been working there for a year and they do a great business, my wife and I always said, what a gold mine that place is and if ever goes for sale we should buy it. Well it did go for sale and we are now in the process of buying it. Just submitted the business plan to the bank and now waiting for the funding approval. The shop is located Bergen County NJ. Does about 350 - 450 customers a day. Uses about 500 pounds of coffee a month. Gets all its beans from a very larger commercial company, so the bean quality is not great. The Baristas are mostly High school kids and not trained. The equipment is very old and not that good. Our plan is the replace all the equipment, go with top roasters (like intelligentsia), get everyone trained and offer the best quality coffee around. Look forward to chatting with everyone here.
