The parking for Pops is not any different than the parking for Busy Corner. At Pops, you have to cross the highway. For Busy Corner, you just walk up the road.

They just have not found the right formula. We were there this past summer. I really wanted to find a new model that would work. Was disappointed.

There is " NO RIGHT FORMULA " for that Location. If there were, somebody would have done it in the last 30 years.. What's the average age of the person eating at Pop's? They park across the street and walk 30 yards on level roads to get to pops... Those same aged people will not, won't ever, walk 200 yards UPHILL to get a donut and a postcard.

" Level it, make Condo's, create a positive cash flow for the town. You're welcome. This is where " Common Sense " should come into play. Convenience is everything to today's " Crowd " .. Walking up there is not a convenience.
