I would like to open a store in my town.? -

I would like know what kind of research i would need to do to see if my store would work. I am thinking a secondhand store.

That depends on your town. A second hand store might work, but you need a larger population to be successful. Are you thinking of opening a pawn shop type business, a clothing exchange, or some other type of second hand store?A pawn shop is not a business for beginners to jump into. Find a pawn shop and work there for a while before deciding to open your own shop.Clothing exchanges are much more likely to work in small towns, especially baby clohting or towns with colleges near by. However, you really need to know your stuff to make this a success.Used book stores have a good chance of making it, but you need to find a wide range of books,You need to start with a busines plan and stick to it. Talk to your local Small Business Administration for help.Good luck
