Sprinfield, IL GW coffee shop

This was so cool.  About 4 weeks ago we were in Springfield, IL for the day and visited some thrift stores.  At the one GW Wabash Store they have a really nice coffeehouse in the store!  It was in the store, seperated by a 3' wall.  Pretty cool!  I've never seen that before.

Wow! What a great idea for a nice thrift store... I would definitely think that would solidly impact their bottom line for the better & make the store a nicer place to "hang out". If they had Wi Fi, etc, even better.  A lot of thrifts attract "hip" kids, students, the kinds of people who like coffee bars & shops. I think that is a wonderful idea for a thrift shop that could swing the initial start-up costs. Wouldn't have to be fancy, but what a neat idea.
