FYI, gyms use 10:1 ratios, and sometimes higher. I think most spaces are leased, with a few who own small spaces. Adding food to your space creates havoc for permitting. They'd have to be in a space entirely independent from yours. It's possible, but just difficult. My recommendation: keep the 2 businesses separate.
