    The key to opening up a specialty retail store is to make sure you are in a very high traffic tourist area. Keep in mind that most likely less than 20% of customers will be locals. If the area doesn't have high tourist pedestrian traffic, don't waste your time taking such a risk.

    I was hoping I'd find a video that talked about the complicated stuff. Accounting/book keeping, taxes, w2s, shipping and receiving, insurance, opening accounts with vendors, receiving debit card purchases. To me some of that stuff is the scary stuff.

    Their store looks amazing John 👏 You certainly aren't wrong when you say it isn't cheap! We had a market stall for 5 years and opened our own store 2 years ago alongside the market stall. When the pandemic hit in March 2020 we actually made the decision to leave the market which had better footfall to focus our attention on our shop to create the experience of escapism. You can get a feel of the before and after in our videos. We've also allocated the biggest investment into our business in the past 2 months (which sounds crazy given the pandemic) but we know it WILL pay off when it is completed in April.

Is it still the same process that you explained in terms of legal structure, or is there more steps than a US citizen? That would be really helpful to me to have information on that. Thanks a lot again!

    What about a new type of store
    I call it store 2.0
    you have a store
    there is an app
    people choose the products that will be in the store
    when people open the app, there is a catalog with thousands of products,
    now, people have to choose the products they want from the catalog.
    then, the products that were chosen will be found in the store
    the store is constantly being supplied with the products people chose
    then, of course, the app will say if the products are here or not yet,
    and the app will say where to find the products in the store
    for example, product shampoo is at column B, row 7
