From the Paper:

"Threats to our business would be Stella's for the atmosphere and Starbucks for the name. Because of our hours being later, from 4 pm to 2 am, we also are threatened by businesses that sell alcoholic beverages. We are trying to target those customers who do not drink alcohol. Those who do drink alcohol have the option of going downtown to the local bars, or if they want to stay close to campus, they can go to the Border, or the Stadium. Another threat could be other coffee shops trying to steal our ideas, thereby creating competition that is even more direct. It is because of this that we must establish a strong market, and customer loyalty, ensuring that these customers will come back, despite our competition."
