That is exactly what happened in a small bakery in a small touristy
town near here. There had been a sort of general store that never did
well. Then it was a bakery and did not do well. A woman took it over,
started making better products, put put some tables and umbrellas to
make it look more inviting. Other people driving by saw the people
enjoying their coffee/ tea and snacks so they stopped. She started
getting regular. The landlord saw how well she was doing and jacked up
the rent. She closed. Pity.
