It's not to say that a coffee shop wouldn't work. It's to say that Starbucks would not meet their desired sales volumes for a new expansion location.
I guess that formula shows that no one east (Kitchener: North) of the expressway drinks coffee. Will be so happy when they open a spot close to home. (Or when ANY coffee place opens between my house and the airport!)
