Agitprop Coffee. A study in impending failure.

 I wish there was a way to bet on the failure of a new small business. A brand new coffee shop opened nearby. I do pay extra for organic/fair trade/single origin good coffee. However I'm not going to pay to get preached at.

Agitprop coffee. 

Actual name is a synonym. Details obscured for obvious reasons.


Advantages: 

City it's in is VERY blue.

Prices on the menu board are reasonable.

Bad: 

Not open late enough to get bar crowd traffic.

Limited metered parking.

There is a Dunkin Donuts a block over that's open much later and has a drive through.

There is a coffee shop that is co-located in a vape store two blocks over.

100% Vegan restaurant that serves coffee, Another hipster/vegan coffee shop, McDs, STARBUCKS all within 5min on the same road. Not to mention lots of restaurants. 

 

Unless it's a tax shelter they are going to be gone as soon as the owners run out of money.
