    Time to make the........ coffee?

    I hope they keep the Double D name. I assume they are focusing on becoming the Starbucks alternative. Dunkin has coffee, free wifi & available power outlets. Plus a good number of locations are open 24 hrs. Power outlets are becoming an endangered species at McD's. Plus the food quality at...

    Part time o/o

    Interesting idea. Imo there's one question to be answered ... Is it worth the risk to your main gig? This isn't exactly a cookie cutter type of business. Stuff happens. Delays happen. Your older, cash van is gonna let you down one day. Business volume ebbs & flows. Often it's the unforseen stuff...
