Starting a coffee shop is a dream for many, but opening a café can be a big investment. A drivethru coffee shop business is an excellent alternative, with lower startup costs and huge profit potential for entrepreneurs passionate about owning a coffee shop.

Today we’re talking to Sandy Edin, owner of the Shots 2 Go coffee shop. The stand was struggling when she bought it in 2010. She used her experience as a barista and café manager to transform Shots 2 Go into a successful coffee business, and in this interview she’ll share the strategies she used to do it.

Opening a coffee shop from scratch can be intimidating, even if you have lots of industry experience. Buying one that was already up and running saved Sandy a lot of that work and let her get to making money faster.

We’ll hear straight from Sandy why she decided to buy her coffee stand, along with her advice on how to open a coffee shop like what equipment is a musthave and how much money you’ll need up front to get started.

Bringing in customers is critical for the success of any new business. We’ll find out what marketing strategies Sandy used to get Shots 2 Go on customers’ radar, particularly during slow times, to keep her business competitive.
