Is owning your own Fish store your dream?
- Thread starter d20monsteroscar20
- Start date
franchise fees are a small price to pay for a place like that that would be a dream but my big prob with them is that they dont do leasing and i want that to be part of my service options...

nice place
ive thought it would be the coolest thing ever to own my own store. its just a big risk that im not willing to take. i already have a pretty decent job and i could always go back to it if the fish store idea failed. right now my wife and i are looking into a flower/ gift basket shop. shes a floral designer, her idea of the flower shop is first becouse she will make it successful. i may have a better chance of failure becouse ive never actually worked at a pet shop and i dont really have the knowledge and experience... i feel that i need to know EVERYTHING possible to feel confident... 
I dreamed i owned a fish store, then it went bankcrupt...i lost all my capital and went into debt. Thats why I just wanted to be a hobbyist, and get some money back on fish that I decide to part with. There are some fish that I just couldn't keep. Clown loaches, Asian aros, and Arapaimas. They just end up dying for some reason. The rest, I can keep alive. So if I go into fish store business...I think it would go bankcrupt.
flower shops are gard to keep running too thats my moms dream and her best friend owns one and she struggles even though they have alot of bussiness its a hard thing to get into alot of overhead and alot of perishable stock to keep on hand!!!!
i wouldn't want to own a fish store. once your hobby becomes about money, then it becomes a chore/job and will start hating this hobby. too much things to worry about and especially since you WILL run into stupid people to piss you off more.
No way. Many reasons why, but the bottom line is that I don't want to mix my hobby with my career as I'd run the risk of ruining my enjoyment for both.
