So, anyone have any experience starting a boutique clothing store. My girlfriend and I are thinking about starting this up in a few months. She is currently a manager at a high-end retail outlet so she has some experience and she can speak Korean/Japanese/English. I'm mostly helping with the operations, budgeting etc. It's going to be a tiny little spot. We are going to buy high end women's clothes wholesale from Japan and resell them in a boutique fashion store. I ran some numbers and it seems that it is a feasible opportunity. My big question is have any of you (in the US or otherwise) run a small fashion boutique. How many sales can you realistically expect per day?
