I'm confused, a liquor store yet you wouldn't sell liquor?

If this was the case wouldn't it just be considered a convenience store?

I think you may have spent a little too much time at the marijuana store before brainstorming this idea.

I agree

However, if you got on the right track with the concept you could have something. i'm sure the marijuana booth would create a demand. You might be better of getting a peddlers license and setting up a snack booth or something rather then renting an entire store. Low profit margin prolly wouldnt cover location cost.

Enjoy Life,
Nick

I have to agree with Nick above me. The less overhead costs you can occur would be best. A stand would be your best bet to avoid this, but do you have any experience running a store?

You could jack up your prices and sell it to all the people when they are high...

A few things to consider:

If the federal government shuts down the marijuana store, will you still be in business?

Legally the federal government is able to do so since it is still considered illegal in the U.S. just the State of California put it into effect.

Why does every post of yours go to your business partner program instead of answering his question. If you can't give spamless advice don't give any.
