Description:
The Xandar Zone is a Trading Card and Sports Card Shop that has been owned previously by two other individuals. I just recently added Wireless Interenet to the store and am attempting to add computers and video games to it as well. This store has been rooted in the community for 6 years and children have come to depend on it's existence for a place to gather and play Magic The Gathering , Yugioh , Dungeons and Dragons and other entertainment ideas. I decide to add The Internet for two reasons, one adding the Internet would allow parents who can not and children who cannot afford it at home , access to it for a mere 3$ with their own laptops and 5$ using ours provided for 2 hours. The second I wanted to offer children and teens a learning aspect as well as a fun aspect. I am looking for funding , a loan of up to 10,000$ , . Please , I am asking that although this may seem like a hair brained idea, the store has been here for 6 years and last years profits , although small were there and larger then the years before. Estimated from internet alone is upwards of 10,000$ this year and 10,000$ from the video and trading cards. I would be willing to discuss any and all options for making my business grow.
