I am trying to open a small wine shop. How can I get the best estimate of projected sales in my area? -

Enter more detail here (Optional)

Glad to see another wine lover. I ve been able to find one decent website for a listing of local wine stores. http://www.bestonlinewineshop.com Here in California I ve been able to find some neighborhood wine stores that have intelligent staff. Some of the wine shops can special import wines for you, often getting you a discount on case purchases. There are many wine shops close to my house that have monthly wine tastings too, which I look forward to because I can taste differnt wines.

This database is one of the largest in the world. You cant go wrong here. You will probably get 100K worth of info in 30 days. Ive used it many times in the last 22yrs.

How long is a 8-10 buisness day? -

i ordered something on Thursday at 10:00 pm it said it should take 8-10 business days what day should it be here

Ordering it on Thursday at 10 pm is effectively the same thing as ordering it on Friday. Saturday and Sunday are not business days. Therefore, Monday is the first business day after your order, Tuesday is the second, Wednesday is 3, Thursday is 4, Friday is 5, Monday is 6, Tuesday is 7, Wednesday is 8, Thursday is 9, and Friday is 10.So you ll get it about two weeks after your order.

Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays are not counted as business days. Any other day of the year is. Due to the late hour of the order, it would not be processed until Friday. So, 6 business days to get to the next Friday and then Monday and Tuesday to get to 8 business days. Expect your order Thursday at the latest.

Are there really that many people on here who don t know what a business day is?A business day is Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs, Frihttp://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-busine��You purchased your item on Thurday evening. The first business day is Fri. It would be there the Tues-Thurs in two weeks.

So it come the week after next. Tuesday, wednesday, or thursday.business days don t count holidays, weekends, or the day you ordered it.

Assuming that Sunday is their only non-business day, and there are no holidays during shipping...It probably shipped Friday morning, and may come by next Sat. If not, it should be there by the Mon. after.

roughly two calendar weeks from the time you ordered.You can t count 8-10 business days on a calendar?? Please tell me you KNOW that sat/sun are not considered business days.

3 weeks

It should be Monday/Tuesday

How much money would you need to save to open a small movie theatre? -

more than $100,000?

Impossible to say, don t know your definition of small . But like all business ventures you must do a budget. Screen, projectors, sound, chairs, carpeting, running costs, staff, building (not required, many open air theaters around.). Business plan and a mission statement. Than you know where you ll be goingPeace.

i dunno but they are awesome!

Say there is a limited number of seats and that they should register early to make sure to get in.
