I do think your problem is location. You're just not convenient unless someone is going to Radio Shack or Verizon, sorry. Going to Home Depot and then having to cross 441, turn left, turn right, park and then either risk car to turn left to get down to 466 or 466A or wait forever at a light to turn left to go back on 441 just isn't something I'm willing to do for a drink or sandwich.

I have stopped in and gotten smoothies twice. Both times it was only teenagers working. The service was okay, not great and nothing to write home about, but nothing bad, either. Being a California brat, I have a great affinity towards smoothies. They've always been a favorite treat. While Planet Smoothie isn't at the top of my list, it isn't bad.

So, I would guess the problem has to be location.
