She asked whether the City is oversaturated with coffee shops in one area. Mr. Eitel stated that is a market question and the City’s response is that the market will make that finding, whether there is enough room for another coffee shop. In addition, competition provides for better service for those shopping in this area. Councilmember Lawrence-Anderson asked about the brand of the proposed coffee shop. Trent Mayberry, Told Development, 7032 Spring Hill Circle, Eden Prairie, thanked the Council for hearing the project and explained he cannot disclose the name of the coffee shop but in looking at the brand, the City Council may make a conclusion, noting it is slightly to the north of the United States. With regard to market demand and saturation, Mr. Mayberry agreed with Mr. Eitel that it is demand driven and indicated the coffee shop he is working with is aiming at a different demographic than Starbucks and/or Caribou. Mayor Willson stated he has been in other locations where there are coffee shops almost every block. He stated this conversation has also been held relating to the number of hotel rooms and he agrees with the comments of Mr. Mayberry that if they think it will work, welcome to Brooklyn Center. 1.
