There are already quite a few board game cafes throughout the U.S. which of course are not S&L... Any trend that is popular and profitable will be proliferated...

There have been plenty of copycats of the board game cafe concept.

Over 20 in Toronto alone and all around the world.

Look at this blurb from wikipedia:

Global influence
Snakes and Lattes has been cited as the inspiration for the opening of many other board game cafes around the world, such as Victory Point Café in Berkeley, Draughts in London, Thirsty Meeples in Oxford, the Tabletop Board Game Café in Cleveland, Loot & XP in Oklahoma, The Castle, near Boston, Boxcar Board Game Café in Calgary, Chance & Counters in Bristol, Small Print on Prince Edward's Island, and the upcoming Bonus Round Games in Chicago.
Snakes and Lattes also pioneered the proliferation of board game cafés in Toronto, which has more than 20 such businesses operating across the city.

But the key is no one does it better than Snakes, especially with the selection of games they provide and the fact that they have a monster distribution business -- no one else has that.

Plus it just means the concept is popular and has enormous growth potential.
