captain_slinkyI know that everybody on my Friends List would love to see me open a Comic Book Store, but how many of you would put money on it?
I've got a few Co-Werkers who just might want to help me open up a store. And so all the numbers are just rushing through my head keeping me COMPLETELY awake and unale to function.
I still want to put it in Anacortes because that town is sorely lacking in activities for The Young (unless you like to drink or skateboard). Typical small tourist town, it's a place where old rich people go to die that has recently seen an influx of Yuppie Families.
We drove down Commercial Avenue last night at around 10pm looking for vacant retail storefronts, and we found 4 or 5 of them with "For Rent" signs in them so I'll be calling to find out what the rent is like. Also need to find out aproximately how many kids are in the Anacortes school system, advertising rates for the Anacortes American (the local weekly paper), average monthly cost of new product, cost of insurance, licensing, utilities... it's all a pretty good way off, but I'm of course once again excited to see the possibility in front of me!

khristle is being very supportive :)
So the start-up cost is gonna be 1 year of rent/utilities + 1 year of Product + $2000 for shelving, cash register and electronics + the two storage units of STUFF I've got sitting in Lynnwood just waiting to become the back-stock of a comic store. Early estimates (without any ACTUAL numbers in front of me) is $30k.
And to think I did it "Back In The Day" for just under $5k!
