A smaller "tiki cafe" thing might not be too bad...to start.

strangely you should say that but a market thats about to open up in britain would provide the opertunity to open tiki cafes or should i say tiki coffeeshops, you know the type of places tikibong would like.
Here in Edinburgh the first cannibis coffeeshop in the dutch style will open due to the change in the drug laws, and having lived in holland on and off, I've experanced quite a few, from the tourist traps of the A'dam to the local shops in the country. And the layed back tropical theme of tiki would work so well with this buisness.
The dim lighting, the exotic decoration, subtile music, the gentle burble of bamboo bongs and insted of booze cocktails, fruit juice cocktails. Tiki would capture that backpacker/traveller types and the suburbanites seeking to escape the mundane through the weed and your location.
