Description:
Local Game store closed, due to a co-owner taking all the merchandise and store equipment and vanishing.
I wish to open a similar and better store in the same area, to take the customers they had. Previous store was listed as making around $150K/year I just need enough to setup the store fixtures, get some inventory, and some lease payments as backup. $10k to $30k should do. My problem is I have no collateral... other than the inventory and equipment that is purchased with what I barrow.
The store that closed was:
Blue Dragon Games
The closests similar stores are (All 30+ miles away):
Pandamonium, Gamers Sanctuary, HeroQuest, Fun4All
My business will be similar to these above, but will have additional hobby types... And since I already sell things on ebay, I will likly continue to do so for this business.
So it will be: Retail Sales, Online Sales, Cyber Cafe, and Tounament/Party event operation.
Still trying to come up with a name that is not already taken, "Rons Games & Collectibles" may or may not be used.
