What kind of store???
Hypothetically you are walking away from your current job, no matter what it is. You've decided, against all odds to open a retail store/boutique, what would it be?? Mine would involve a few of my passions, leather goods, pens, watches, maybe some clothin...
😂 Yeah baby...
You got it absolutely right! Whenever you think about walking away from your job, you‘d better be true to yourself!
I would sell used Seikos
and about 50 other watches, and when done, I would close the shop and have my life back. Cazalea
My store
A fine subject. My store would be an audio store with very good loudspeakers for sale, great equipment like great amps. Power cleaners, expensive interlinks, acoustic room solutions. High quality loudspeaker cable, audio furniture, high end audio custom i...

That would be a mega store with so much audio brands under one roof. Nagra, Chord, and D’agostino. 😉 ...

DISCLAIMER: I know nothing about Audio
Very intrigued by the Shiit brand. Now pardon me, I’m off to google and learn!
Have a nice ride!
What i know is, Shiit is located in California. Affordable high quality audio gear. No bla bla, just good sound. They deliver their products here in the EU. Not many distributers, but in the US i think it is easy to find a dealer. picture: One of my Roger...
Sounds nice...
...but these days customers can order for themselves and skip the middle-man (you). Of course, if you have F-U money and don't need to make a profit, then that's altogether different.
Hypothetical
It is what Thomas said, if you quit your job and want to start a store/boutique. Yeah, an audio store is hard to keep profitable. Audio is for the most people a forgotten subject. Televisions is different, but also a full market with a lot of competitors....
LOL! . . .
. . . come to think of it, I wonder if Robinhood has The Producers as required 'watching'.
Oooo, I like this topic! Having worked for a lot of brands on their stores I think about this often....
If it was just for the money, retail would need to be in a category you don't need to compete with amazon for - hardware, luxury goods, etc. - or a high value service business. Some of the best revenue$ / sqft$ I've seen comes in surprising places like gu...
You can buy a gun on line from
a dealer who has an FFL, but it has to be shipped to another dealer and not directly to you unless you have a current FFL. You pick it up from the dealer you had it shipped to and usually you have to pay a transfer fee and also complete the paperwork.
True but you still need to physically go to the store
So at that point, if current production, might as well have the local dealer order for you. Plus it's a chance to up sell you on accessories and ammunition for your new toy. I know a shop doing 8 figures out of maybe 2k sqft of b or c grade commercial spa...
? Pawn shop
I think you want to have a pawn shop. There are not many in France maybe, so the people can be curious about pawn shops.
I think i will follow you on that .
At least something different , something for a independent lifestyle 🤗
