Like you said "wholesale cost" not that much...

And it isn't a place you would bring kids for a show. LOL Is that suppose to be a joke lol You drive threw a drive threw and get a coffee same difference as a Dunkin Donuts just "sexier attire" It's not a strip club or anything. What about the Marylou's Coffee it has girls wearing the same attire. Pretty young ladies serving coffee to the world and that is a success. Get in or get left behind I could care less about your opinions :) lol This is mine and nothing is going to change it sorry bro

Refurbed high end machines are between 2,500 and 5,000 max. These are machines that sell new for between 15k and 20k and they are all over due to an obvious supply of used equipment like all other restaurant and other stuff. Coffee cost 12 dollars a pound for adequate coffee if you come off of the street. Baristas has a very special relationship with its roaster and gets it at about cost and sells it to the franchisees for 7.25 per pound plus shipping. Cups cost .17 per cup including lids on average at the local Cash and Carry. Baristas again buys in bulk and sells to franchisees for about .09 per. I assume they are making a little on both. Rents run from 500 per month to 2,500. Power averages 300. Trash averages 275. Internet is about 75. Insurance about 125. wages run from about 1,500 per month to 4,500 per month per stand depending on the wage requirements of the state you are in. Cost of syrups, milk and other additives are about .15 a cup (according to a local supplier) Of course there are the normal taxes and such as with any other business.
