Just curious. I'm almost 1 year in to my one person shop. Looking to open up some lines to others in the business.

I sell Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Puma, Converse, The Hundreds, Diamond Supply Co, Mitchell & Ness, New Era, etc.
Not really going to get into my expenses.
Are you a shop owner?
I'll just say more than 50k and less than 100k start up cost.What was the start up cost? Why do boutique owners only hire lazy friends that provide crappy customer service most of the time? Are you wealthy? Do you keep all the limited stuff for yourself and VIPs? How long until your shop started turning profit?
Every place would be different. Where I'm at, you can expect to pay $20 per sq/ft for a retail space. My first location was only around 650 sq/ft, i've since moved into an 850 sq/ft space. I don't expect I'll need anything bigger for at least the next 3 years.You don't have to give dude exact figures, but giving someone an idea as to what overhead runs, G&A, etc would be beneficial. Hell, give it as a percent of sales if you want to be private.
haha, not in the slightest. I was hoping there were other shop owners on here I might be able to learn from. I think if there's a hidden agenda at all here it would be to find a shop owner who might be willing to sell me some Foams since they can't be ordered in Canada, lol.Is this a humble brag thread in datguise?
jk. thanks for sharing the knowledge
If you give the rep a good first impression, present them with your vision for your store, and if you're in a market that currently doesn't have representation of the brands you want, it's pretty pain-free.how difficult was it to get your shoe contracts?
Thank you for all the honest information, very insightful. I've always thought about opening a sneaker boutique since this side of the DFW gets nothing good.
What did you receive your degree in?
How hard is it to get limited drops such as the galaxy drops, yeezys and now the golden moments package?
Any other companies you're looking to get product from? Has any company turned you down?
any plans on launching an online shop that ships to the usa?
btw congratulations on the store, you must be proud
What Province you in OP?
