[QUOTE="Luddite, post: 1328260, member: 4099"] Well I can offer the following as a customer of Gaming stores. Things I like/look for in a game store. - Non-Scary staff : Don't hire gamers who know all about the products but have the socail graces of a cow. - Educated staff : The staff should know about the big names and common products. More they know about smaller publishers and products the better. I think there should be a computer with a links to all the publishers and some common boards available to the staff so they can look things up for/with customers. - Service : Think of the game store as offering services to the customers. Selling products is just one service. Having a gaming arena and computer Network is one thing that you can not get on-line. Also see about getting some type of food service license and set up a bariesta. Heck, go so far as to just open up a Starbucks Franchise, or partnership, with in the store. Use the profits of the Franchise to support the game store. The other things like how to run a business are also important. On a parting note. Open the store because you love to run a gaming store. -The Luddite [/QUOTE]
