Lazymae,

Just how small is small to you? What is the population in the city limits and nearby?

People living in Houston may consider a city of 10,000 to 50,000 a small town, while the government definition is a community of less than 5,000.

If you are hoping to market a business to less than 3,000 adults, I doubt a coffee shop will work as a stand-alone business, unless you have some real cappuccino and espresso fanatics. (Not picking on the coffee idea, just pointing out reality. In addition, adding a cafe in a town that already has a popular one established probably won't work.)

The more info you provide, the better the odds someone will suggest something do-able and profitable for your market.
