my only concern is demographics, this town has a fairly "grey" population. which is good in a way - there isn't much for the kids to do except get stoned, drunk or surf because it's too quiet. but the actual number of potential patrons... I don't know..
renting the machines wouldn't be THAT much of an investment.. but the shop lease, candy bar etc could pile it up a bit. plus finding the right slacker to man it, someone who can trouble shoot as well as serve slushies.
dunno what level of investment I wouldn't mind risking.
Theres a great little shopfront right on the main street that would be perfect for it..

My brother got everthing together for less than $5,000 (I think and I mean that includes all expenses) and if it goes under at some point in the future...he will have recovered his initial investment and then some so all he would be stuck with is the lease on the building (a two year lease)...and that is only $600.00 per month (he got lucky on this building)...the building he is looking at for his next business is $1200.00 per month and he may have to take a five year lease...but he is still shopping.
