How many mama's out there are planning to have one, or do?
I'm planning on one. I'm hoping to open in 3 years, 4 max. That way my youngest will be old enough to reason with..lol... She will stay with me.
I'm looking into opening a consignment store in my area. I've been doing lots of research and am looking at targeting female 15-30ish yos. I have my eye on an area that is near a college, 2 high schools and an elementary, also near major public transportation. Got lots of ideas for decore, layout etc.
One thing that is essential is that there is room to construct a roomy office that will also be a playroom for my kids. A tv, micro and a day bed. My hours would be shorter day. My kids also attend playschool at that age. So, she'd only be at the store with me a couple hours after school, and one or so before.(hours 11-5:30, Tues, Wed Fri 1-8 Thurs, and 10-4 saturday). Also the school my kids attend is accross the street, so everything is close. My oldest 2 by then will be old enough to help with some things (mostly housekeeping items, but still help).
Am I crazy? Does this sound feasible? I'd go with infant and maternity, but there are several here already, and I've watched them come and go already, I'm doing some serious research and market study. I'm scouting locations, close outs for fixtures, to see what kind of costs I'm looking at incurring. I'd need to get software, I want it off the get go, but my home computer would work there, I wouldn't get a second one right way. My major expense would be rent, finding consignors I think I'd be ok....
Well, any one else have big plans???
