Java Divas, which opened last November next to a gas station in Pasadena, is Maryland's first drive-thru "costume coffee shop", according to owner Brandy McMillion. She likes to call it "Hooters meets Starbucks." Depending on the day, the four part-time employees ? all young women ? could be in school girl outfits, military uniforms or lingerie. Though it's only been open less than a year, Java Divas already has a loyal customer base, with plenty of return customers, McMillion said.
Bill built the 16x18 feet shack and leased the ground from the gas station. It's been a symbiotic relationship ? business at the gas station has gone up by as much as 30 percent since Java Divas opened, according to the gas station's owner, Munawar Abbasi. He gets coffee there every day ? sometimes as much as two or three times a day.
"This used to look like a dead gas station," Abbasi said. "People see lines now, they know something is going on."
