Back when I worked in the hospice, I remember speaking to a couple of hospices in England who had set up a new income stream from coffee shops.
One had set up in an old Lakeland store, charity shop on ground floor and coffee shop/bookstore on second floor. Obviously huge local loyalty to the hospice and attracted customers from all the big chains because of that. In the initial stages they were also using “homebaking” from the hospice kitchen but it got so big they ended up having to use local suppliers. Were turning in a large 6 figure profit from this one “unit” alone with a ridiculous profit margin on the coffees.
