Hospitality and Food services uses traffic analysis to determine viable opening days. It is still trial and error.

Perhaps there is enough commuting traffic between Laconia/Meredith to justify a coffee shop in that location. That is where you may find the big chain shops such as Dunkins or Aroma Joe's. Since I don't see one, there is probably not enough traffic on that route.

So the Mom and Pop's diner such as George Diner et al fills the bill. A local hang out for the retirees as well as workers to get their java in the morning fit the bill. This is where a coffee shop can exist here. As for when to open is very tough indeed. As every morning is a good morning to open. It is up to the owner/operator to determine what will be best for them and still cover expenses.

Tough call.
