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.


That location is a well traveled high traffic area. I think issue might be the limited parking as to why this might not be an ideal location for the chains shops. Would be very difficult to have a drive thru where this store stands which all the chains have. I love mom and pops and truly hope they make it.
