Baristas Coffee Company, Inc. (BCCI)

[BobSinCA]

Near as I can tell from Google, there are no bikini-clad barista coffee kiosks in Las Vegas (perhaps someone can correct me).

IMO, that is because:

- No-one has ever thought of it;

- The summer heat in LV makes it a non-starter (think: 2 Barista AZ store failures); or

- Zoning/business case (rents, salaries) doesn't support it.

This is not to say there may not be an opportunity for a BMOC-style store in an LV mall, but servers will be G-rated. Note the concern in PA as to whether 'classic' (read: scantily clad) Baristas servers would be in the mall.

The zoning/community issue is a major part of why Barista's coffee kiosk model has gained no traction, despite having franchise papers filed in over half the country for a couple of years (per company PR).

There will not be a costume issue with the G-rated costumes planned for male and female servers in the PA mall locations; but, this is not the same Baristas we have known and loved -- or which is pictured in the 'in development' reality show. Heck, even Mr. Henthorn was confused about server attire!
