Record Shop....

[loopee]

If you was to open a record shop, where do you reckon would be the best place to open one, with no other record stores near by and that is easy to get too???

also what kind of budget is needed for this??

also can anyone help here, with any helpfull info?

best place to open one, i reckon, would be somewhere with no other *specialist* record shops near by... and it has to be easy to get to!

my local shop (SFR) is right next to a bus stop, more or less on top of the high street, and about a 10 min walk from 2 train stations!

your gonna need a big budget though bruv.. i think its in the region of between £50k & £100k... cos you need premises etc etc..

then you gotta get records from distributors & staff blah blah blah

If in Essex, I'd say opposite Toys R Us in Basildon.

Soundzone would be a good name.

Seriously, that is your main competititor round that way Loops.

I wouldn't go near Romford either.

quest ru mad?

a couple of thousand is all u need, u never buy premises, u should rent, incase it goes all wrong.
all the main distributers offer a main line of credit/account as they r desperate for customers and u always take stuff on sale or return from the independents.
always prepare to not make any money for a long while, so set yourself a budget to live on/work with?
advertising is you biggests cost, but people like me r always on hand to help small businesses.
as far as premeses r concerned its all about location, location and finally location. find an area with loads of nightlife and day life u shouldnt worry about setting up near v shop etc, they dont sell vinyl.
and lastly u need to decide what music so sell?
drum n bass and rnb are the biggest selling units after pop music, but personally id sell any kind of music i could get in the shop.
