<description><![CDATA[ This drive thru coffee business has the look and feel of a franchise, but it's not. It is licensed. The name is owned by the sellers and is included as part of the sale. A manager supervises the day to day operations of the business twenty hours of the week for the absentee owners who live in Harrisburg. Four part time clerks back up the manager in the retail operation, each working a shift alone. To offer the very best service there are two drive thru windows to accommodate folks in their vehicles. High end, award winning Caffe D'arte coffee is served exclusively. The goal is delivering a quality, fresh, and remarkably delicious beverage for each individual customer, easily and quickly. Unlike competitors, the coffee is not brewed. The owners established the business and constructed the facility using the best state-of-the-art equipment, investing more than $300,000 initially. Why start from scratch? The hard work has been done. Operating annual receipts are currently $20,000+. This is a virtual asset sale. Sellers are looking for an entrepreneur to take this opportunity with much potential to the next level. If you are a hands on, hardworking individual who views a glass of water as "half full" instead of "half empty", take the next step and get more details. There is financing for a qualified individual, and training for new owner. Monthly lease.  ]]> </description>
