You are just going to have access to coffees that could never be made available through a national franchise. You are also going to have a much broader range of flavor profiles etc...

If I were to compare to beer

Folgers-Grocery Store Bean = Bud, Miller, Coors etc... Basic beer available everywhere and largest market share.
Starbucks = Sam Adams Microbrew with macrobrew market availability
Peets = Sierra Nevada Microbrew with national availability
UncleBeanz = Bell's, Three Floyds, Lake Louis, Rogue, Victory etc.... Still a real micro brew in batch size, distribution channels, Q-rating etc... Beer for the beer nerd. Or in UB's case coffee for the coffee nerd.

I didn't put a ton of thought into the analysis just kind of my first impression.

Someone want to do the coffee - cigar comparison which would be more appropriate for this board?
