Title: No way out, a store is needed.
Post by: Mr Andersen on June 16, 2011, 08:30:00 AM
As time goes and more lockers are won, i have decided to open a store.
Only so much can be sold at Ebay,CL, Yardsales, and etc.

Therefor i have decided to open a store by the end of this year.
It will be a concept store, nothing like a regular Thrift store or outlet store.

The main thing is that i will not rent a place to have the store, i own the land and will build a 6000-7000 sq ft. building and storage facillity. There will also be a complete processing plant on the property.

The plan is for the futurte to exspand in the back of it, and have storage units for rent, there is enough room for about 280-300 units. This way i will draw a lot more traffic to the place then what a single store would.

It will also serve as my new location, for my office and main business.

All i am waiting for now is for the city of Memphis to clear the zoning and approve the plans.

Can't wait to have this up and running.

Sounds very cool Mr. A. Look forward to seeing this developing. I have had similar ideas would like to have a storage facility, resale shop, maybe even an auction house. Use the space as storage, to sort property, etc. There's nothing like that in my area either and I can see people enjoying an auctionhouse. Problem is in Chicago or even surrounding burbs land is just to expensive to justify a business like that.

Good Luck.

Maybe you can offer consignment booths to supplement some of the overhead.

This is something that will take abot 8-12 months to finish.
But total investment will be in the range of $880,000.00 to $1,000.000.00. 
If city of Memphis approve the zoning and plans i think the construction can start in december or january.
