On the other hand, it is winter when they are looking for a place inside to
go.



The biggest question is, what can your business plan handle? Can it handle
the cost of heat, does it take the fluctuations in the market into account?
Do you have a business plan?

I note that this is why a lot of the places that do coffee drinks also
do sodas, ice creams, and the like. I'll also note (and the Europeans
have figured this one out) that drinking coffee when it's hot helps
equalize internal temperature with external temperature, and thus cool
a person off.

Still, though, I know that if I was opening up a business, I wouldn't
want the times when the store was emptiest to be when I was spending the
most money to keep the place open, and with heating costs about to reach
a new high, it just doesn't make much sense to open a place during the
winter, when people are more likely to be huddling at home rather than
looking about for new places to go.
