You did not mention which city/town you are in. Check to see if you are covered by municipal aggregation:

Prices are much less. I am currently paying 9 cents a kwh.

You also forget that Cumberland farms exists where their coffee while it tastes like dirt, is cheap.
You’ll have to be priced very competitively to get ahead in that area.

You mention no coffee shop I would patronize. Dunkin's is bad coffee, honeydew is mediocre, starbux isn't worth it, Mary Lou's is gross, never heard of Tooties. We need more coffee shops that are good! Places with baristas that care and are skilled. I encouraged this person to go forward and give another choice

North Attleborough would be a great place right there by RI, it has a good market from people traveling route one its right there by emerald square mall. There's really only one coffee shop ( a Mary Lou's in a gas station ) running through town.

Heat pump won't be cheaper than oil unless the temps stay in the 40s+, and that's with a brand new heat pump. Electricity is north of 33c/KwH... crushes the value of a heat pump.
I switched my cut over temp to 45f. Anything lower than that and I'm using oil, which right now is a big north of $4/gallon.
As others have said... solar and insulation. Not much else you can do. I did switch to Constellation as my provider, which helps.

Do you have insulation? $1000 seems high w/out the oil. You can always keep the temperature lower and wear layers.

For sure, I don’t want to talk about it for fear of my idea getting stolen, but business model isn’t a problem to compete with these chains.
I’ve also found small time coffee shops appealing to millennials and the younger gen compared to the big chains.
Not to mention self roasted or locally roasted beans being worlds better than the dirt steeped sewage Dunkin sells

I'd love to edit this into a wallpaper for my dual monitors (5120x1080 resolution). Is it possible to get a version without the large watermark for this purpose (maybe one in the corner instead)?

Lol I hope you’re being sarcastic. It’s still an incredibly warm winter overall.

Long sleeve jersey, turtleneck, and either a sweater or one of those comfy fleeces with a hood. The comfy is uber warm
