"About half" of Reality Labs spend is in AR R&D according to Bosworth. I'll be very interested to see what Apple brings to the table, but would not expect Meta to be playing catch up.

Are you familiar with Moto in Hudson, NY? They are almost exactly this business model. http://www.motocoffeemachine.com/

Obviously every town/city's zoning is different but you may want to try to see if they're willing to discuss the process they went through.

Also interested in the spreadsheet, but figured commenting directly rather than in that thread would increase the likelihood you see this.

The best (non-toxic) repellant I've found for mosquitoes is blasting them away with a low to medium powered box or table fan.

It would appear as though they are, at least according to this article from 2015. One would imagine they wouldn't continue expanding once the $/sqft leveled off:

"$3,785 in sales per square foot, a figure that would put Warby Parker behind only Apple in terms of retail efficiency. Though those numbers have dipped somewhat as Warby Parker has grown, the company is still averaging about $3,000 per square foot of retail space, a figure that’s in the same breath as Tiffany’s estimated $3,043."

There is a new D2C company out there called Hubble. They don't offer custom base curve or correction for astigmatism, but I was able to get one year's worth for $265.

This is generally the goal of any re-branding. It would be illogical to attempt re-branding against a successful, known property.

Will be very interesting to see what impact a successful model here would have on the trade-in/re-sell revenue of brick and mortar. I believe these numbers have been hovering in the 25% range for the past few years.
