My husband and I would like to open a drive-through coffee shop/mini mart in the Bushkill, PA area. The Northest PA area is very depressed, and after having been laid off almost one year ago, I am having difficulty finding a decent job in the area. We believe that a a drive-through coffee shop/mini mart where customers can also buy cigarettes at the drive through could be a very lucrative business for us, particularly since we live in an area where a large volume of people commuting to and from work in NYC reside; these residents are on the road starting around 3:30 or 4:00 AM. By offering a drive-through service where residents and commuters can stay in their vehicles, this business would be the only drive-through in the general area. We would like any and all information about what grants and loans may be available to us, as well as information about how to start up a our dream business.
