Talking about the coffee shop business, in addition to choosing quality coffee beans to be served to customers in the form of drinks, the location of the coffee shop itself must be carefully planned, because it is one of the determining factors for the success of a coffee shop business.

Do you want or are planning to open a coffee shop business? Let’s look at the following tips for choosing a coffee shop business location.

Customize the location with the target market

Before choosing the location of your coffee shop, you need to do some research and determine the target of your business. Once the target market has been determined, you can then look for the right location to place your coffee shop business to be close to the target market.

The target market can be considered in terms of lifestyle, age, income, occupation, and so on.

For example, if your coffee shop business has a target market of young people who are still in college, then you can choose the location of your coffee business near universities or student residence areas.

Consider accessibility
