Business Opportunity?

[MossRoad]

Von,
Not to be judgemental or anything, but in my humble opinion, that is a terrible idea /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I know it is a legal business and all, but oh my gosh! "Hey honey, lets open a porno store" is 99% guaranteed to get a divorce filed within two business days. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Actually, in my case it would be 100% chance.

On a serious note, I wouldn't want to support this type of business in my community. I'm guessing having these sort of businesses close by does not improve surrounding property values, but thats just my hunch....

Paul, try this idea. A building about that size in a town down the road has booths set up where people place their crafts for sale.The only investment would be some plywood dividers for the booths and isles. Only one person works there, they collect the mony for items sold. They charge a rental fee for booth space and collect a percentage of the sales. They do a thriving business. They have everything from home made quits to wood crafts. also some antiques. The persons that are selling their goods there have to set up their own displays and keep their areas clean. If I get back over that way soon I wil send you some pictures

Hey, Like I said its not for me either, but they do make tons of money! and I think that was the goal here. I was floored when I heard how much You can make in a week in one of those smut shops! Maybe Paul and his wife could work it together!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Hey might be good for a marrage!/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Or They could open an antique shop, but thats alot of work and you need to know what you are doing, or you will lose your shirt very quick!

We have something like what Jim describes here, though it tends to be more "antique" stuff than arts and crafts. Must be doing OK because they opened a second location and they have imitators too. It's kinda like a permanent flea market. I've bought a couple of things there, like some tea cups for the wife's collection, and some marbles to replace the ones I've lost over the years. Given the store front, it doesn't look like a high overhead operation, since all the goods belong to the folks who rent the spaces.
