Opening a wine/liquor store

[Thomas]

I could not agree more with KC's advice, especially the one about no experience--DON"T DO IT.

I have experience and I am trying to figure out why I ever got myself into the retail trade in NY City. The big stores go out of their way in the business to push small stores out by purposely under-pricing, relying on increased volume to make up for low item profit margins. Small stores of course are locked into a certain volume business by the nature of their size and funding sources. That, in a nutshell, is my daily nut, so to speak.

KC, maybe soon I'll need a job...
