New Coffee Shop at airport

[akaal]

Hi all,

I am trying to open a coffee shop at airport in a small town where on an average about 500k+ passenger pass through in a year. I have already spoken and about to get the lease for that spot at the airport. my question is how profitable is it to do a coffee shop business at the airport where i am trying to serve starbucks coffee beans through starbucks's program "served by starbucks" or should I source my own coffee for the coffee shop. Its my first business although I have experience of running businesses for someone else but never a coffee shop. and the airport does not have any specific coffee shop. can anyone mentor or provide some guidance or information for this business?

Hi Akaal,

Congratulations on your contract! How did you go about, who do you contact to negotiate a contract as such? I too am looking into getting contracts with hospital lobbies/airports to add an espresso kiosk.
