- Market Outlook / Competition

There is no competition within reasonable distance that can compare to our offerings. No coffee shops/cafe nearby either. Untapped market as we have been accepted to join Instacart but have not fully onboarded yet. We are also on Uber eats/doordash but haven't finalized that either.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The business needs a more present owner who can help scale this. With customers driving long distances we could open in multiple other locations and truly bring farm fresh and delicious cafe closer to people.
