Hey,

I'd like to have some serious conversations with people who have started their own business through buying a shop/gallery. I'm seriously looking to start and would just like to bounce some questions off of people. I understand if you don't want to post anything here. I can be reached by PM, AIM, or what ever you like.

thanks in advance,

Andrew

Hi Andrew. Feel free to e-mail me at info@glass123.com (I hate PM's), or give me a call at (724) 791-2100. I have a retail store and would be happy to help you in any way I can.

There are lots of things to consider when you take on a responsibility like this, so be sure to do lots of homework before you make a decision.

I'm in the process of opening a shop/gallery/studio myself. I'm still figuring out a lot of the details, but I'd be glad to offer any advice I have...

From the owner of a sucessful retail business of 7 years,...my advice is ......unless you are willing to be IN it for the LONG HAUL , and i mean long haul , you can save yourself a ton of trouble and FORGET it... no , seriously.
