Re: Starting a store.
Depends on if you can lock in a multiyear lease. Many places will be happy to sign a longer term contract and usually will give you lower rates if you do one, but thats of course a risk to take as any penalties you incur for having to pull out early.... though usually the penalty is worth it if the business is doing very badly. But with all business ventures it's a risk.
When renewing a lease you also have more room to maneuver than with a new signer as it's much simpler and saves money to the leaser to simply renegotiate a contract. Most places that have been in business in a location for a while tend to pay lower rent than a new person moving in, though having your rent raised is a common thing, but you still an work out lower rates usually if you got yourself in the door already.
As for many stores closing, it seems like a natural part of the hobby and also applies to lots of Comic Book stores as well, though I always note that when everyone looks back on them, they all had glaring issues in how they were run that obviously played into the stores closure. I've yet to see a successful and well liked store close for no reason.

Lizards closed, Izzy closed, Outland doesn't cater to table top miniatures, and even the mighty Wizards of the Coast CLOSED. I know a guy who still has two whole armies he bought when that happened.
I don't mean to shoot down the previous opinions, but does can anyone way in on real life experiences?
Outland is going to start catering to table top miniature gamers.

Somebody open a store in Hialeah so I don't have to drive so far!
The Miami Subs on Red Road is available and it's right off the Gratigny.

Re: Starting a store.
How about a gaming store / porno shop.
That wouldn't be too bad.

Re: Starting a store.
I disagree.
Porn is readily available for free so it won't help pay the rent from dismal Warhammer sales.

Chris, your Avatar makes me wonder why she looks so angry. Her armpits lead me to believe it has something to do with razorburn from Wytch Elf knives.

She's angry because she's only had little dark elf dicks for the past 2000 years. She wants some big Ogre dicks.

Re: Starting a store.
Porn is readily available but poor and old people don't know how to use computers. So...I think a porn shop or strip club with gaming tables would work.
In the strip club we wouldn't play much.

Re: Starting a store.
Another integration idea that just won't work -
With all the complaints about $2 table fees I doubt any of you would be comfortable with the current going rate for a lap dance.
For those young guys around here that are not aware, that fee is PER SONG!
.......and remember, no matter what a stripper tells you...... there is no sex in the champaign room!

Re: Starting a store.
Dont know bout you Bill, but i find myself a lot more willing to give $2 to a stripper than to Joel
Forget the champaign room, all the action is on the alley behind the strip joint !

The campaign room? The champagne room? Make up your mind.

If the strippers are dressed as Dark Elf sorceresses and Petulant Brettonian Damsels.... we could make this work !

But would they let us play games there?
