Partners Anyone ?

I think opening up a retail location is no longer feasible in this age without a ton of startup capital.

Maybe an online store maybe an option.

Bingo. And even with that, one needs to first understand why all of the brick & mortar stores that have been around for 30+ years are now closing their doors.
Unless of course you have $$$$ to burn.

Better off to just smoke a fat one and dream about it .....

Our colleague Joe Verdino aka Joefish on Planet Catfish opened a fish store in Ft. Myers 3 years ago. Called Joefish Aquatics. Has simply been a hobbyist all his life before that. He has been doing very well. Nice, open, honest, caring, very approachable guy.

It's not a big place, pretty much 2-2.5 people run it. 90% fresh, 10% salt.

But all in all, this is likely an exception. RD's point is strong. I'd give Joe a call and chat with him to see his take 239-344-0057 open 10am-7pm every day.

Unless you own the building forget it.

LOL, not exactly. I haven't even had a beer in the last 25 years. But if our new Prime Minister up here legalizes it, who knows what medical condition might pop up?
