Overall recommendation
Strong lifestyle, visitor, and local-spend signals support premium beverage demand.
Commercial rent, housing pressure, and labor costs create meaningful margin risk.
The labor pool is workable, but seasonal competition for staff should be planned around.
Competition is meaningful, but a distinct premium position can still create room.
Downtown, tourism, and amenity proxies suggest healthy customer-flow potential.
Population, visitor, and income context point to continued growth-market momentum.
