You're blatantly ignoring the point that they are not paid enough to be able to afford to do that.
- renewiltord 4y agoI believe you don't need that much money, actually. The SBA has small business loans that you can get at great leverage. If they wanted, they probably could pool together the money and pull it off for a smaller location. But the practice of the matter is that a non-Starbucks coffee shop is a different proposition entirely to a Starbucks. Access to the installed app base, the brand, the commercial RE management changes the economics of things.
- WalterBright 4y agoStarbucks started with one store. There are lots and lots of singular coffee shops. Their owners aren't wealthy.
- guerrilla 4y agoYou need more money than barely surviving... Again, you greatly overestimate how much Starbucks pays workers.
