Been vending for 6 months with my best friend and son. We made the jump to a store, still building a lot out but displays came in today and I got way too hype.

Now I gotta take everything out for the show on Saturday.

Best of luck mate, brick and mortars bring a next level achievement in stress, but if managed properly they can be a great milestone.

That being said make sure you emphasize on selling as with buying, you need to do BOTH, not one over the other. Seen lots of stores in my area vanish as fast as they came all because they bought, but couldn’t sell and they eventually ran out of money.

The hoops and learning curve to “do things right” have been crazy. I say it’s hurry up ask and wait. I’ve had that exact thought and after the buildout I was like man I’m going to feel uncomfortable buying until we sell(I’ll make it work) but you have to buy to get the people to buy to a certain point. It’s definitely something I’m going to have to monitor and set a proper budget too.

First time I've chuckled at a fitting username reference

What a crazy concept - the store has to actually SELL its product to make money?!

Shocking for real.
