Starbucks in NJ has parking - most by local code. Here's a real good example. Most of you see the new strip center on the AP circle - more or less vacant. It cost over $3 million to complete it. A new coffee shop has been slated to open there. While the town let them build 15,000 sq ft on th

Actually, $1 to park is a deterrent. When you add $1 to a cup of chai tea (or coffee) for your drive in addition to having to find a parking spot, people will think twice. Maybe not week enders, but locals will. "Let's meet at restaurantwhatever on Cookman" becomes a harder sell when your f
