this is what makes you different from other sneaker UA-camrs. Providing content that has value and is meaningful. Thank you. Keep up the hard work and can't wait to see the store!!!
I keep coming back to this video! 1 year later I got my LLC and store front. Crazy what can happened in 1 year. I opened this September. I’m nervous and excited as hell. Wish me luck!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@thecontroversy7914 I buy anywhere, offer up, local, marketplace, Facebook groups. Sneaker shows. NO LOANS! I started off with 300+ pairs and and 50 pre owned pairs
i love this. I have been going to your shop since you opened. I try to stop by on my lunch breaks. But i too have a dream of wanting to open a shop up. This is so informative and this is why i continue to support you, you are open to conversation and are so positive with the energy. Keep going bro!
This is exactly what I was looking for. This information was so useful and inspiring, if you haven’t realize you’re blessed a lot of people with the information you provided. I am in the process of opening up a sneaker store but my main problem is I can’t tell the real from the fakes yet so I’m practicing it but that’s for this 🔥 info, I’m a follow you on all platforms
Thank you my guy I needed to hear this. Definitely food for thought, an explained extremely well. Keep grinding and thank you for being an inspiration to us little people! 🙌🏾✊🏽
Please don't switch up. Been watching almost all your videos and you always keep it 100, you gon b on top Andrew jus don't switch up and keep doing you n being 100
Great video. Watched a few of your videos, specifically about opening up and the leg work behind it. One thing I haven't heard you discuss (unless I just missed it) is how you source your inventory. Do you go direct to brands, do you have to have a connection? Are these things difficult to come buy? Is there a vetting process before a particular brand starts working with you? Are you just sourcing on your own?
Hope all is well, I've always speculated about opening a sneaker shop. All the information you provided is on point! I do photography and music videos so I had to eventually learn the business model at some point after starting my journey. I'm mostly curious about how do you build a reputable inventory with different brands. In other words where or how did you come across your shoe vendors. I've got a full time job in the county that funds my side-hustles and hobbies but I love the thought of being an entrepreneur in the sneaker / fashion industry. Thanks for any input you may share bro! 🙌
my only question is how did you come up with the start-up fund?what are the resources?awespme vid im inspired and always wanted to land a spot somewhere and do my own thing
pretty glad i fell upon your page. it's my life goal, bucket list to open up a hobby shop in the future. very informative, and very good content. i had to sub! keep it up, bro!
I think it's super important to specify this is a sneaker resale shop. If you are trying to open a shop where you get the product straight from the brands then the reality is that you will simply not get an account unless you buy out an existing store or have some kind of huge financial backing.
I realized this was what I need to do with my life. I had many jobs out of high school that I realized I just want to do what I love and be my own boss. One day..
Dude. You are amazing, owning a sneaker store is a dream and a huge goal of mine. Im only 16 and know probably a bit more than the average high schooler about owning businesses etc. but this really out things into perspective and I want to thank you for that. I hope to achieve this goal someday. I also wanted to ask you if you happen to see this, 1. Is it smart to take out a loan for a business? I know that's more money going to the interest of the loan and stuff and 2. Idk why I always feel like I HAVE to be reselling now to start a store but im not sure if that's the case. Is it possible to just start a store without having to basically full time resell before? I hope you see this and thanks again :)
When you said you were a little older than most I thought you were about to say 45 or something lol, you’re still very young! Regardless, I want to open up a sneaker shop as well so I appreciate all the knowledge and insight!
Congrats on making the move! I’m doing the same here in NY! Shopping around for insurance at the moment, what carrier did you go with, as a lot of them don’t insure sneaker resellers. Blessings.
It’s very nice that you are making these videos. They’re very informative and educational. Will you make videos on booking your inventory and the accounting side of the business. I’m opening up a sneaker shop and everything you said on this video is on point. Thank you for taking the time replying to our comments.
Amen boss got a store opening may 8th near chicago people really don’t know how much it cost and how much work u have to put in to get there got a UA-cam coming soon something like u do
I hope all the best to you and to all the brothers who looking for there future,The only problem that I face now in opening a local store is how to find good deals or suppliers at a good price, knowing that I am from the Middle East, is there a site or entity that provides you with premium sneakers?
I always suggest for you to use your own money. It’s never a good idea to go into debt. Right now is a good time to get a loan but I’d say be conservative with the amount you want to loan out. If everything fails then you’ll have to pay it back with interest which just loses you more money
great vid. Helped shed light on starting a business in general. All these kids thinking it's as easy as copping shoes on a phone needa sit down LOL stay in school LMAO
i am 14 and have always wanted to start a business and sneakers is my thing. all of this is so confusing though. i really need help finding where to buy for cheap for profit and all stuff like that
I’ve learned how to legit check myself just over the years of being in the game. All the inventory I bought was from other sellers or Facebook or offer up. Now it’s just coming in from the ship
My biggest question is how do u do the authentication? Im thinking about it for real but that's a big concern in my head! do u outsource or u do it in house?
this is what makes you different from other sneaker UA-camrs. Providing content that has value and is meaningful. Thank you. Keep up the hard work and can't wait to see the store!!!
Thank you bro! Def will keep it up!

Congrats Man! Good luck with it all!
Where do you buy your shoes in bulk
Hi man ! How did you do ?
Where did you buy your shoes from? Did you get a business loan?

Question. Great video. But how do you research vendors? You said you had over 200 pairs. Are those private purchases or you have a vendor for it?
Good luck on your store. Sub. Post more video when the shop open.
Of course I will!

Where you planing on opening in ny?
Thanks for this helpful video, just wondering how many sales do you think do you get each day or week + average spend + profit margin
Nice information and testimony in your journey boss
Dope video I’m pushing to open my own store
Is there a way to start a store if I’m not already a reseller and don’t have any inventory
dope shop will show you my journey too. and seeing this made me want to go harder great energy ! hopefuly we can trade some kicks
Awesome!
Thanks ,so helpful
Super helpful!
Glad it helped!
Great information 🔥🔥
Yessir!
How are you getting the sneakers ?
It’s very nice that you are making these videos. They’re very informative and educational. Will you make videos on booking your inventory and the accounting side of the business. I’m opening up a sneaker shop and everything you said on this video is on point. Thank you for taking the time replying to our comments.
Great info!! Thank you
Yea of course!
So sick, keep it up!!!
Thank you!
@@holygroundshop I’m going to have a store out here in vegas soon!
I know it’s personal information but could you make a video on how much money you make in a month considering expenses
Perhaps idk yet
Congratulations 🎊
Thank you!
I was thinking open mind too. I dont know if worth it or not.
Explain to us how we get inventory?
can you make a website for the shop ? i’m in new york and obv can’t come to cali
Yea we are working on it!
Super helpful bro
What you do for a day job?
Thanks for this video. Dope content.
Thanks for watching!
How u get the shoes?
When he was talking bout liability insurance I got a little scared but he said 1000 a year not a month
Lolll yea that’s how I felt when they first said that number to me too
Nice .leme ask do u need a license from the brands like nike,adidas or NB to sell the’re brand!?
Amen boss got a store opening may 8th near chicago people really don’t know how much it cost and how much work u have to put in to get there got a UA-cam coming soon something like u do
Thanks bro! Wish you the best!
Great content, it’s appreciated.
Thank you!
Hie man it's been over a year after this video so i have a Question: how is it going??? How big are the profits monthly
I hope all the best to you and to all the brothers who looking for there future,The only problem that I face now in opening a local store is how to find good deals or suppliers at a good price, knowing that I am from the Middle East, is there a site or entity that provides you with premium sneakers?
No sorry I just source them from the local community
Thank you very much, great insight
Yea no worries!
Where do you get stock?
So is a loan what I would need to start or do
You suggest your own money ?
I always suggest for you to use your own money. It’s never a good idea to go into debt. Right now is a good time to get a loan but I’d say be conservative with the amount you want to loan out. If everything fails then you’ll have to pay it back with interest which just loses you more money
great vid. Helped shed light on starting a business in general. All these kids thinking it's as easy as copping shoes on a phone needa sit down LOL stay in school LMAO
i am 14 and have always wanted to start a business and sneakers is my thing. all of this is so confusing though. i really need help finding where to buy for cheap for profit and all stuff like that
The hardest part of the job is finding inventory. Just gotta search and hustle
where do you get inventory?
So how did you buy all your inventory? And How are you gona go about avoiding fakes being brought it for trades
I’ve learned how to legit check myself just over the years of being in the game. All the inventory I bought was from other sellers or Facebook or offer up. Now it’s just coming in from the ship
Are you leaving your current job to run this shop ?
I am not. If the store does pick up and get busy then it’s a possibility
Where you get insurance from?
There’s a bunch of places that offer insurance for them, I’d suggest calling around to see who would give you the best rates and coverage
@@holygroundshop would the insurance cover the price of the shoe ? Or the resale value of the shoes?
Thoughts on your store doing consignment and you take 10-15% of the sale price?
Yea thought about it but never liked the idea because we can’t trade someone else’s shoe since it’s not ours and consignment can be tricky
My biggest question is how do u do the authentication? Im thinking about it for real but that's a big concern in my head! do u outsource or u do it in house?
You can higher someone who knows or just really deep dive and learn it yourself
where do you get your shoes at a price that is profitable?
