A local Starbucks with great earnings* and goodwill is being closed by the licensee. The customers are bummed, as it is the only coffee shop or hang-out for 10 miles in all directions.

The location is for lease.

Should I grab it and create my own coffee shop with the same fixtures/staff/management?

*I am intimately acquainted with the real performance of the biz, because I'm dating the current manager.
