We provide a detailed game plan to help you build awareness, and executing the game plan can be half the fun of owning a store: You get to be the person who makes the community a little bit better and a little bit healthier, and communities love that! To open a store, you need at least $100,000 in liquid capital and a net worth of $400,000. | |
