I think to really make a nice profit at it, you would have to make a place that's a hip hangout at night and an educational center during the day. Invest in business training software and get local companies to send their employees to you to get certified in different programs and such.
Teach classes to old people on how to use the Internet. Teach classes on how to use Ebay.

Thats a lot of hours in the day and those sort of employee's don't work for minimum wage. I did a lot of looking into it late last year, and if it weren't for "surer" things i wouldn't have postponed it, essentially you're right in that it has to be a hip hangout, but you have to look at making a lot of your cash selling syrup coke, candy and frozen food purchased from the local super market at 400% profit and warmed up in the microwave quik-e mart style.
I talked to town planning and they spoke about having to fork out for extra car spaces for the "parking need" business would generate out of my own pocket at like 8k ea.. at that point i kinda cooled down, invested in a few other things and am still looking at positions for one and ways to make money during the day without employee's wages severely cutting into the not-exactly-impressive profit.
I wanted a cool gaming cafe i could own and drop in at to casually fuck around.. but in a smaller town (30k) it's much more of an owner-operator type business..
talk the theking, his brother runs one successfully.
