Background:

I am researching the possibilities of opening a drive through espresso
shack.  Apparently they are very successful in other parts of the
country.  If you are unaware of what I am speaking about, I have
provided links at the end of this question for your review.  I live in
PA and I am a hop skip and a jump from the MD border.

Question:

I would like to know the name's, phone number's, and or website's of
the agencies I need to contact to find out what building
specifications, health codes, or even if this type of buisness will be
allowed to operate in PA and or MD.

For example: Let?s say I lease property at a gas station or another
location to put my espresso shack.  In order for me to run my business
out of this shack...what do I need as far as building and health codes
are concerned?  Do I need my own restroom in this building or can I
use the gas stations facilities?  Do I need to be hooked up to city
water and plumbing or can I have my own contained water system and
internal plumbing?  I am not even sure that these espresso shacks will
be allowed to operate in these states since I have not seen any such
similar business.  What permits do I need to obtain?  These are the
types of questions I need answered.  I am looking to you to point me
in the right direction so I can get these answers from the proper
agencies.  Please feel free to e-mail if you have any further
questions.

Hi, I worked at one for two years. It was fun to watch business grow
so fast, the owners had to work very hard for the first year as I was
there only emploey. By the 2nd year they had three other employes, and
were taking in about $1800.00 a day. We had a water tank that was
filled up every other day via a garden hose, connected to a RiteAid.
The RiteAid also provided a restroom. The rent for the spot in the
parking lot was about $1200.00 a month. The health inspector came out
about 4 times a year.If your willing to work a little harder than you
may think, it's actually a pretty fun and profitable venture. Good
Luck!
