Should I start a small coffee shop in rural America (30,000 population size)?

One coffee shop in grandparents hometown. Terrible coffee, but somehow still has traffic. My guess is locals have no other choice and after some key opinion leader calls, sounds like this is about right. 

Startup costs around ~$40K. Is this worth the risk / should I go for it?
