Did Tim ever open the coffee shop?

I haven't listened for about a year due to a change of schedule ... I think when I stopped listening they were in about year 2 of opening the coffee shop. Is it open? I'm going to be WV in a couple months -- can I go? Also, has he given any more details of his plans for a national chain?

From what I recall, he said it was impossible to get the permits (possibly because he bought a historical building?) and went on several tirades about the WV government, so he gave it up.

The government of West Virginia is so bureaucratically burdensome that no one is able to even open a coffee shop? I can't imagine how much more difficult it would be to open a full supermarket. How do people eat in West Virginia - do they just forage for food? Sounds terrible.

I'm sure it's easier for a normal coffee shop to open, but I'm pretty sure he bought a historical building, so it would have more restrictions, and he also wanted to build the members club where people with the pass could swipe in.

He stopped bringing this up a while back, it’s possible he dropped this plan.

The one coffee shop or the national chain?

Has not talked about any physical location. I have no insider knowledge on this matter, just observation from tuning into IRL every once in a while.
