Ned help on starting fist store

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
theres a topic on this already that as many pages of tips ;) best i can persally say is to do research on the demand for one in ur area. and go fom there.
 
I've never done it but I would think it would be easiest to work at some one elses fish store for a while. You can learn a lot that way.
 
Won't work. The prerequisite is that you know NOTHING about fish when you decide to open a fish store. That way, you will fit right in with the other LFS owners who don't know jack-crap about fish.

Seriously, I'd love to own one. The problem is that it would take a lot of the fun out of it. That is why a hobby is a hobby and a job is work....
 
Sorry I just noticed it's your first post.

Welcome to MFK. I shouldn't razz you till you've been here a while and know that we're actually all good people here. I don't know about starting an lfs but good luck to you.
 
if people were so willingly to give you step by step instructions on how you could run a business successfully why wouldn't they do it themselves?
