1) The simple way to see if it would work is as follows

2) Find a shop to let and get the ratable value and rent from the estate agent

3) Add onto it what you would like to earn a year

4) Add a rough guess at what it would cost to do the place up and get equipment

5) Now add up the cost of making the drink

6) calculate what price you will sell your drink for and deduct 5)

7) This is your profit per drink

8) Add up items 1-4 and get a total (which does not include things like advertising, electricity, water etc)

9) divide 8) with 7) to get how many drinks you will need to sell and see if its possible remember you would probably only be open 6 days of the week, if so research deeper find out other costs like electricity, advertising, insurance and so on

Obviously in Britain... if I were to do anything like that I'd ensure that I can cover the winter (cold, rainy) months as well. Juice is typically for hot weather, but I would imagine that if you had options for colder weather somehow too you'd do a lot better

I saw a juice bar disappear from Swansea in Wales due to - as I understand - catering too much to a hot climate, in a climate that is primarily rather cold and very rainy!
