I went out to look at the new retail location possibility. I think I can make it work. The big area is huge way more than I can use right now. However, there are storage lockers built into a portion of the building and I may be able to work out of two of them for the time being. One as the office scale area, and the other for storage and immediate breakdown.
OK now the dilemma I am faced with is which space do I go for? I think the 2 storage lockers is great idea at about $100-$200 per month. The larger area is nice so I may try to negotiate terms for the lease. 3 months $300, increasing every 3 months to full price. We will have to see how it goes.
The greatest motivator for me is the ability to have a retail location with a scale. This building is less than five minutes from a scrap yard. I know I can get some overflow from guys looking to maximize their money. I think the right advertising combination will do wonders.
I will continue to gather facts, analyze the data, and make a decision.
I am in the process of Making a round of pick ups from the calls I have gotten. Wife is riding shotgun, then out for steaks. Will post results for today's PU's later.
