Looking to start a coffee shop in a small town. A few questions Now, the chances of this actually happening are not very good. I just have a few questions as I am trying to learn about business and have friends who could use advice.

1. In a semi-small town, would the best place to put it be main-street? where the other small businesses are?

2. What is the general cost of getting materials for an average coffee shop? 

3. What are the best times to be open if only a few hours are available to be open?

4. What questions should I be asking that I haven't?

I can give a lot more info, ask and ye shall receive. Employment salaries wouldn't be a factor.
