I want to do a brick and mortar place so people don't have the same issue I do. The problem is buying enough stock from different manufacturers and still being able to cover expenses.
can do inventory out of a storage unit for first couple years. setup special order and walk in orders through the website. build up enough inventory and and a strong enouh customer base to handle a Brock and mortar.
if you want to look into options it I think I could help you.
