To the Editor:

Concerning the closure of the two OLA Coffee Drive-Thrus in Ocala, it would be enlightening to know a little of why those shops closed at the same time that so many other drive-thru franchises are elbowing each other for space here in Marion County.

My first thought on reading the story was that there just isn’t a market for coffee-on-wheels, but that is belied by the fact of those other similar businesses vying for their share of what must be a real market here.

So, what happened to OLA? What does Starbucks have that OLA doesn’t?
