Replying to URGENT: film Location help

Alright so Im starting a short film for a film festival.

My concept involves a coffee place like tim hortons and It is important that I get a coffee place since the concept revolves arround this.

I have a contact who owns a tim hortons, problem is I will most likely need permits from tim hortons in order to shoot since this is for a festival. I doubt they will ever accept.

So what are my solutions? I need a coffee place, shooting at night, with permission. re writting is not an option here!

need as many suggestions as possible GO!
