I have just opened my own coffee and sandwich shop in a shopping center. The shopping center is in an affluent suburban area and there are a number of professional offices (lawyers, accountants, consultants, doctor offices) in the local area. I specialize in coffee, pastries, sandwiches, and salads, and serve breakfast. I plan to operate the shop 7-days a week, 6:00AM to 9:00PM. Now all I need are customers.
