November 1998 â Audiogalaxy is created by Michael Merhej. Initially an FTP search engine, the Audiogalaxy Satellite P2P client would reach 1 million downloads in 2001. In May 2002, a suit by the RIAA would force Audiogalaxy to block sharing of illegal songs. In June 2002, Audiogalaxy would settle the suit for an undisclosed amount and make its services opt-in. In September 2002, Audiogalaxy would discontinue P2P services in favor of Rhapsody, a pay streaming service.
Younger workers average $24.74 per week on coffee while workers over 45 spend an average of $14.15 per week, a fairly dramatic difference. People under 35 grew up with Starbucks on every corner and are primed to spend a ridiculous amount on coffee drinks, especially specialty drinks.
989. Insomniacs_Coffee_House, you are wrong about Starbucks having a lot of shops each making 20K a year. They make a lot more than that. 5 years ago I did a quick number crunching on them and figured their average store sales per day is about $2500, or about 800 customers a day. They make serious money in retail coffeeshop. With their cost structure, they probably net 200K+ per shop. By the way if you are doing 300 a day after one month into the shop, I would not read anything into it. It's more important that your customers like your place, like your service and like your products and will spread good word for you.
