Can anyone tell me about the espresso stand business? I was wondering if it was worth the investment since there are so many of them.

If I were you - I might seek a business opportunity where you weren't having to fight so much for so little market share - unless you had a guarantee of an exclusive spot somewhere with great traffic?? It's like just being another pea in the pod - I would think. Traditionally food-related (and beverage - unless we're talking alcoholic...) businesses have high overhead and low profit margins. Good luck!

I like the idea and would probably buy one that was up and running yet not managed very well

On the espresso stand idea I would say that you need to be very cautious.  Do not buy with the idea that your profits are in the future because of "some type of development, etc." coming your way.  Buy an established business in a good area.  Primarily, do not buy or open in an area that could possibly house a Starbucks in the future, because they will come.   (I do some commercial work in my real estate practice).
