Place

Explanation:

There are four main types of economic utility that customers can benefit from: form, type, place and possession. In this example, John is seeking place utility. Place utility refers to making goods or services physically available to potential customers. In this example, John is interested in convincing the coffee shop to open a new location that is closer to him. This is because John wants to be able to consume the coffee in a location that is more suitable to him.
