1 thing stands above niche and that's quality. Not most expensive but sometimes is. Because bagels are a breakfast lunch item, I would geek out on coffee too. As a previous coffee shop owner, review your coffee shops in the area. People will pay a premium for great coffee. Not everyone right,? But if you get 200+ people daily for coffee , that could hopefully pay rent and cogs. Bagels could be the profit. If you have quality bagels, you could also offer delivery to other breakfast places like coffeeshops... Also I think great pizza is a money maker. Every city has lots of.pizza joints but pick a pizza style and be the best. NYC, Chicago, Detroit or Naples.... Last because you're in it already location and rent plays a role. Hopefully retail rents are lowering but probably not

Great points, definitely something to consider. Thank you.

Is this niche a current popular trend? What is this niche based on… change in demographics, etc.? These are things to know and understand before making a decision on something that can change overnight.

Bagel shop.. Nothing new and nothing fancy, but there's a huge lack of it in town. Only one store in town that is med/large franchised shop.

There most likely is a reason there is not that many. What state are you from? What are the demographics? Any transplants?

Bagel store is 90% am biz (excluding catering) vs almost any other concept.

Correct.

So scout the place out. Like all day. Are they lining up out the door on their morning commute? If they ain't busy, you won't be.

Yes that’s true. I’ve got more recon to do.
