[QUOTE="RatPunk, post: 1148053, member: 1246"] I feel like I already have this one covered. I know more about what's going on in the gaming industry than the manager of the store I currently frequent. Frankly, I've always felt that was just wrong. :D This was pretty much what I was thinking already. Special Ordering is a key part of my store concept, and should be for any game store, I would think. The ability to tell somebody you can get something they want is too important not to have. Again, most of these are what I was already thinking (except for the raffle and pop bottle return money). As with the special ordering, I think play space, tournaments and sanctioned play are important parts of any gaming store. I like the raffle idea, too. Consider it stolen. ;) I have a location in mind, but have not checked into it. It's small enough that it should suit a new store, but looks to have enough room to allow for some play space without being too cramped. Problem is, of course, that I don't know how far away I am from opening (probably many months), so it may not be available when I'm ready. Then again, it's already been empty for a couple of months, so who knows. Insurance definately. Hadn't seriously considered an alarm system. I will have to look into it. I've been looking into doing this off and on for the last 10+ years, but never pursued it for various reasons. This time I'm determined to stick with it until whatever outcome destiny seems fit to grace me with... [/QUOTE]
