built around the area. However, the first and only branch of a popular coffee

establishment like J.Co Donuts & Coffee in Bohol started in Rajah Sikatuna

Avenue, Tagbilaran City which is 5.2 kilometers away from CPG East Avenue.

Mostly, common people who are interested in dining in at J.Co Donuts & Coffee

requires for them to travel. Although traveling only takes 12 minutes to 15

minutes, some consumers prefer those that are easily accessible for them and

nearer from the market areas.

Mall at Rajah Sikatuna Avenue, Tagbilaran City. Since then, it makes the

customers passed off because they are wasting their time and effort falling in a

long line. This problem cause people’s dissatisfaction about the product as well

their products.
