I am thinking about opening my own shop in the next few years. I am 27 now, so hopefully by 30. The one thing that I took away from my favorite LCS owner when he retired was this, don't care if someone comes in and spends money. Make him/her feel welcome and always talk sports with them. If you can shoot the breeze with someone and they feel that they can come hang out at your store they will spend money with you. He did that for over 25 years and it served him well. I wish you the best of luck with your store and if I am ever in the North Florida area I will stop in. My shop will be in the Ft Worth, TX area.
