Kelly’s Taproom is our most direct competition since it tends to attract both our niche market due to its prime location near colleges and universities and older guests.

Critics like him who had visited the island could not deny the fun environment, but felt that when people arrived a Coney Island, they lost their mind and moral values. Not only were they concerned about human character; they were also concerned about the economy as a whole. Coney Island was changing America “from a ‘pain economy,’ where scarcity of resources demanded a struggle for subsistence, to a ‘pleasure economy,’ in which abundance was potentially available to all” (Kasson 90).

Vodka flavors are set to become more focused on subtle and natural flavors as consumers become more refined in their tastes and increasingly prejudiced against poorer quality, cheaper flavored vodkas which have a more syrupy, sweeter taste. In contrast to other alcoholic drinks markets, the flavored alcoholic beverage category is relatively new, ensuring that consumers have fewer preconceived ideas of what flavors should be available. In addition, there are no well known base flavors to the drinks, so manufacturers are free to produce a wide range of flavor mixes in their products. Flavor trends in alcoholic drinks continue to evolve as companies seek to meet changing consumer tastes, expand into new consumer groups and bring more sophistication to brands in the face of high levels of brand competition.
